lpv:translated text	"The role of the Court of Auditors, raised by the Treaty on European Union (TEU) to the status of EU institution, as per Article 13(1) TEU, is to monitor the application of European public funds. As such, like similar institutions existing at national level, there is a need, on the one hand, to ensure a high level of technical preparation and, on the other, to ensure the independence of the members of the institution, as per Article 286(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In view of this, the right time to monitor the aptitude of members of the Court of Auditors to carry out their roles is at the time of their appointment. In the light of the evidence that has been gathered, Karel Pinxten, nominated by the Council, fulfils all the necessary requirements to be appointed as a member. I therefore voted for the proposal to appoint him, as I am aware that the activity of this institution is central to ensuring the quality of EU political work."@en1
