"As in previous years, the ‘Protection of the European Union’s financial interests – Fight against fraud – annual report 2010’ includes the latest information on irregularities and cases of suspected fraud reported by Member States. The report examines a special topic, agreed in advance between the Commission and the Member States, namely, the risk of double financing in cohesion policy. In 2010, reports of irregularities increased in all sectors, with the exception of pre-accession funds and traditional own resources. The European Parliament has called on the Commission to take all necessary steps and also to exercise the right of legislative initiative to ensure that Member States honour their reporting obligations and so that it is possible to obtain reliable and comparable data on the level of irregularities and fraud in the Member States. In my opinion, the current situation is unsatisfactory because, if the Commission’s annual reports are based on inaccurate data which cannot be compared, this raises questions about its purpose overall. I believe the Commission must take full responsibility for demanding all the necessary data from the Member States in a timely manner, so that the true extent of fraud in the Member States can be established."@en1
