"Mr President, my thanks to the rapporteurs. This has been very complex, as the Commissioner has said, particularly because it has been a dossier handled by two committees at Parliament: the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Budgetary Control. As the S&D coordinator of the Budgets Committee, I wish to thank the rapporteurs for their fruitful cooperation.
My group has sometimes been a bit difficult for the rapporteurs: we have made problems for them, but it has been for a good cause, because we have to use this opportunity to move forward. We have to find the proper balance between, on the one hand, control, proper spending, and so on, and, on the other hand, swift implementation and a reasonable level of complexity for end users, for citizens. And most of all we must focus on results.
We are afraid to repeat historical mistakes, but now is the time to move forward. We must recognise that the most important thing is ensuring that EU spending has a real effect on the economies of the Member States and citizens. That is why we are so insistent on the issue of simplification."@en1
