lpv:translated text	"Madam President, with regard to the presentation of the report of the Court of Auditors, it is clear that, at the moment, this report – which previously attracted very little attention – has become an important item in the press. Certain Members and groups have expressed their concern at the occurrences of leaks to the press – a concern which I share – and I think that we should ask the Court of Auditors, as well as the other institutions, to respect the time limits. But it seems to me that the punishment which some people have tried to impose on the Court of Auditors is absolutely out of proportion because if we remove from the agenda all the issues which have suffered from leaks, we will end up with no agenda at all. We have to be more rigorous in our behaviour. I believe that the reasonable thing to do, bearing in mind, furthermore, that the report of the Court of Auditors has a series of consequences for Parliament’s activities – and I am thinking particularly of the approval of its management – is to present what has happened to the President of the Court of Auditors and get him to commit himself publicly, apart from giving the relevant explanations, to an investigation to try to control this issue, and to improve the system of distribution and provision of information to Parliament. However, in any case, I think that in the end it we will be the ones who are penalised through this behaviour. Therefore, I believe that the sensible thing to do is, tomorrow, after the presentation which the Committee on Budgetary Control is going to make today, to present this report to Parliament."@en1
