lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are facing one of the really important, fundamental questions here. You could say that, as a representative of a eurosceptic party, I believe that it should always be the Council that dominates European cooperation and that this Parliament should concentrate on the internal market and cross-border environmental issues. However, there is a third issue that has now come to the fore. The Council and this Parliament are, in principle, equally responsible for the budget and the uses to which taxpayers’ money is put. Now what is, in my view, an unprecedented event has occurred in that the Council is keeping the uses to which the money is put a secret. We therefore have no transparency. Citizens are not able to say ‘I accept that because I know what the money has been used for’. Therefore, I would say – and as far as I understand, all the speakers in this Parliament are in agreement for once – that there can be no question of granting discharge to the Council until we know where the money has gone."@en1
