"Mr President, I was speaking today primarily not as a UKIP MEP but as a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales. One fact is beyond dispute: the Court of Auditors has not passed the accounts of the European Union for the last 19 years. This is even though the Court has only to sign off a declaration of assurance, which is probably a lessor standard than the true and fair view of the Anglo-American world.
This, then, is the context: the context of 19 years of unsigned accounts, in which this Parliament is now discussing own resources – and the conclusion is clear. The institutions of the European Union are unreformable, otherwise they would have been reformed back in 1994 – the first time that the accountants did not pass the test of the Auditors. This is a disgrace, and I hope that the next Parliament will do something about it because for sure this Parliament will not."@en1
