"Madam President, I would like to thank the Court of Auditors for once again providing us with an excellent tool for evaluating our use of money within the EU. Fortunately, we can confirm that we are moving in the right direction, even though there are still many problems. However, because things are moving in the right direction, I think we should use the time to take a closer look at what the next step should be. If we look at the situation with regard to administrative expenditure, for example, we can see that we have an effective control system and few errors. In my opinion, however, this is not enough. We also need to take time to examine whether we are actually using the money in the right way.
Administrative expenditure is our expenditure on salaries, buildings and such like. In this regard, we ought to ask ourselves whether we are really getting enough for the money that we spend on salaries. Are we using the money in the right way in respect of how we manage our buildings, etc.? I believe that we now need to take the debate a step further so that we discuss the question of whether it is efficient enough, and so that we also obtain a significantly greater degree of transparency with regard to this. I therefore call not only on the European Parliament, but on the Commission, too, to demonstrate a considerable willingness to provide greater transparency and to engage in this debate."@en1
