"Mr President, there is not very much to thank the Commission for. I find it completely incomprehensible that there should be an institution which is unable to put together elementary statistics concerning the existing rules, which is unable to add up how much money is being sent to the candidate countries, which is unable to provide some general numerical information so that ordinary people can follow what is happening and which is unable to supply the total acquis on a CD-Rom to anyone who might be interested in it. It is really quite simple. I have worked on it for a good many years. It is completely impossible even for organisations with academic employees to find out how extensive the ‘acquis’ is, and it is apparently impossible for Mr Vanhengen to give the entire acquis to a Member of the European Parliament who is quite prepared to go through it and distribute the tasks among the different employees in order to see what positions are to be adopted on its various aspects. So there is nothing to thank the Commission for."@en1
