lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Berlin may not be ideal, but the Committee on Budgetary Control deemed it the best possible outcome in the current climate. Top of the agenda of the Committee on Budgetary Control was – what else can we do?: how can we monitor things in the best possible way? We have decided to maintain our viewpoint, as Mrs Haug has just stated that we must maintain the own resources ceiling at 1.27%, provided that the old calculation method is maintained. With regard to the cost of collection, the Committee on Budgetary Control has not objected to the increase in this cost from 10 to 25%. As for the stand-by percentage of VAT resources, the Committee on Budgetary Control agrees with a reduction thereof and also approves of this reduction occurring one year earlier than planned in the Committee’s proposals. We are also of the opinion, as has been expressed by the Committee on Budgetary Control itself, that it is necessary that a reserve is built into the expenditure for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund so as to be able to cushion unforeseen expenses. As I have already stated, it is obvious that the control on revenue is paramount for the Committee on Budgetary Control. In this respect, we have attempted to refer to the work of this Parliament’s first Committee of Inquiry, the Committee of Inquiry which was involved in fraud in transit. Since the publication of this Committee’s report, we have heard very little in this respect. We would like to change this. We would like to be kept informed by the Committee on a regular basis. What is to be gained from having a situation whereby revenue is collected from the Union which belongs to the Union but the work involved is carried out by the national services? We have therefore managed to have an amendment adopted which stipulates that in the year 2003, the Committee will need to submit an extensive report to demonstrate the level of improvements achieved since the work of this Committee of Inquiry. Finally, Mr President, the Committee on Budgetary Control is of the opinion that, at the half-way stage, we should once again look into a new system of own resources because if new countries join, the current system could well prove to be too complex."@en1
