"I supported this report, as I agree with the special reports of the Court of Auditors regarding the implementation of the budget for the year 2010. I share the view expressed in the Court of Auditors’ recommendation in Special Report No 7/2010 that it is important to implement a reform of the accounts clearance procedure and the discharge procedure, which would help reduce the duration of procedures and establish a clear relationship between sums recovered and the actual illegal payments. As regards Special Report No 14/2010 on the safety of imported meat, I am completely in agreement with the Court of Auditors’ recommendation calling on the Commission to endeavour to eliminate the different treatment of Member States in third countries, which amounts to discrimination.
For instance, the Russian Federation has introduced an import ban on pigs and other animals from European Union Member States, which essentially only affects Estonia and Latvia, because exports of live animals from these countries form the majority of exports of live animals to Russia from the EU. The misinterpretation of food hygiene requirements is a sordid method for achieving other political objectives and should be condemned at the highest levels of the European Union.
In Special Report No 07/2011, I think it is important to establish more clearly targeted rural development programmes in Member States, because the objective should be to actually implement them and not to prepare them simply because they are required by European Union bureaucracy."@en1
