"I am voting for this report, despite the difficulty of working on this issue because the Council has, yet again, refused to provide any information in response to written questions. These focused mainly on transfers between budgets and on the possibility that funds intended for one purpose were used for other ends. The report by the Court of Auditors criticised the Council for diverting interpretation/translation funding into the Residence Palace project and the Council’s response was that it had abandoned this practice. The European Parliament wants the various institutions to be individually specified in the negotiations on the Financial Regulation, so as to avoid such ambiguity in future and to give Parliament a strong mandate for separate discharge for each body. Inevitably, the Council is not prepared to accept this clarification. The European Parliament scrutinises its own budgetary implementation and wants to reach a position whereby there is an equivalent process for all the institutions, so as to prevent Council spending. Parliament’s services have provided the information demanded by the competent committee, thereby enabling it to reach an informed decision on budgetary discharge. We want to be able to reach a conscious decision on discharge for the Council."@en1
