"The Court of Auditors, which has been raised by the Treaty on European Union (TEU) to an EU institution, as per Article 13(1) of the 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 this sense, the right time to monitor the aptitude of the members of the Court of Auditors to carry out their roles is the time of their appointment. In the light of the evidence that has been gathered, Vitor Caldeira, nominated by the Council, fulfils all the necessary requirements to be appointed as a member. I therefore voted for the proposal for his appointment, as I am aware that the activity of this institution is central to ensuring the quality of European political work."@en1
