lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this report represents a broken promise. The Commission assured us that they would get errors under control. Instead, they are on the rise again: up from 3.9% in 2011 to 4.8% in 2012. That is over EUR 6 billion of taxpayers’ money that cannot be properly accounted for. Like the vast majority of the public I am disgusted that the Commission is paying lip service to getting their finances in order. However, what really bothers my patience in this House is the ‘business as usual’ mentality, where irregularities are tolerated despite the huge amounts of money involved. The Commission just gets a polite slap on the wrist. In any private enterprise, if almost 5% of the budget was in error, heads would roll and the shareholders would quite rightly demand change at the top. Instead, this Parliament, which blames the Member States for irregularities, is happy to ask for a bigger EU budget, to give to those same Member States. What a contradiction!"@en1
