lpv:spoken text	"As I’ve mentioned before, The European Court of Auditors plays a vital role in the institutions, being in charge of the audit of the EU’s finances and, as the EU’s external auditor, it contributes to improving the financial management of the EU as well as acting as the independent guardian of the financial interests of the EU’s half a billion citizens. In my view, it is vitally important that candidates for the Court are selected based on their suitability for the position, their professional backgrounds, language skills and the ability to exercise independent judgment are all important for considerations. In the case of Wojciechowski, I do not feel that he can fulfil these criteria and as a member of Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, which has shown its anti-democratic position, I do not believe that in the position in the Court of Auditors that Mr Wojciechowski would be impartial."@en1
