"The discharge for the European Parliament’s 2006 budget is tainted by suspicion, and all Members have been unacceptably tarred with this brush, because of the decision to classify as ‘confidential’ the internal audit report for 2006, which allegedly refers to irregularities in the use of the parliamentary assistance allowance.
A decision of this kind places all elected Members of the EP under suspicion, which we cannot accept. Consequently, our parliamentary group put forward an amendment insisting that ‘the internal auditor’s report be immediately made available to all Members of Parliament and to the public’. Unfortunately this proposal was rejected by the majority in Parliament.
As regards multilingualism, it is worrying that use of the EU’s official languages is increasingly assessed from the ‘economic’ angle – that is to say, by taking its costs into consideration – and that new provisions periodically arise aimed at restricting their use, which jeopardises the right of the various speakers to speak and listen in their mother tongue in meetings or on official visits in the scope of the European Parliament’s activity.
We further regret the fact that Parliament did not approve the amendment tabled by our Parliamentary group calling for the use of open-source software in the EP."@en1
