"Madam President, I would like to thank the Court of Auditors for a good report. Unfortunately, as has been said, it documents the fact that things are moving in the wrong direction. From 2006 to 2009, the incidence of errors in the EU accounts as a whole fell to 3.3 %. This was a good development, but the error rate has increased since then. In 2010 it rose to 3.7 %, and in 2011 it was 3.9 %. It is also interesting to see that the number of errors in the transactions tested has increased considerably, from approximately 33 % in 2010 to 40 % in 2011. This is not good enough. When things were going in the right direction, the Commission took the credit, and, as I said at the time, I do not hold a grudge against the Commission for that. However, it is also clear who is responsible when the error rate increases. Since that time, two years ago, the error rate has risen two years in a row, and it is not right that the Commission deflects the blame onto everyone else, because ultimately it is the Commission that is responsible for the money paid out from the EU budget. Next year will therefore be crucial. If we see an increase in the error rate for the third year in a row, it will be impossible for us parliamentarians to justify it to our voters. We can live with it going in the right direction, albeit slowly and from an excessively high level. However, we cannot live with it going in the wrong direction year after year. If so, the voters will punish us hard – and with good reason."@en1
