"I should like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent report. Our role as the European Parliament is to render account to the public and confirm that taxpayers’ money is being used transparently and efficiently. This obligation is even more important within the context of the current economic and financial crisis, as pressure on government finances has never been greater. Efficient and proper use of public money is more important than ever. The most important problem identified in the Commission’s annual report, and which was highlighted by the rapporteur in his report, is the lack of cohesion between the Member States in recording and notifying irregularities or suspected fraud. This means that is it impossible to objectively evaluate the real scale of fraud in the Member States and for the European Parliament, the Commission and OLAF to perform their duties in terms of evaluating the situation and submitting further proposals. This has to stop and the Commission must take full responsibility for recovering money paid in error and for collating the necessary, comparable data from all the Member States."@en1
