"With over 1% of GDP lost every year to fraud, we urgently need to take measures to fight corruption and fraud in Europe in these difficult economic times. However, protecting the economic interests of the European Union depends on increased cooperation between the Member States. It is a fact that reports of irregularities increased in all sectors in 2011; however, further improvements are needed to the Irregularities Management System (IMS). As the Commission itself admits, data in annual reports must be interpreted with caution because the actual levels of irregularity are not known or estimated and therefore not given. This highly unsatisfactory finding makes it clear that the Commission and the Member States have not exhausted policies and measures to help limit fraud in Europe. In this report, which I supported, the European Parliament calls for and expects specific proposals, actions and initiatives, both from the Commission and the Member States, in order to combat corruption and fraud."@en1
