"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to repudiate what Mr Poettering said about Mr Kuhne. Mr Poettering, this draft report by Mr Kuhne was adopted by the Committee on Budgetary Control by a large majority. It is in the nature of budgetary control that there always has to be somebody who feels their toes have been trodden on. In this case, Mr Poettering, you are the one. Alternatively, it might be French MEPs, or sometimes it might be colleagues from another area. Mr Poettering, people are labouring under a misapprehension as far as budgetary control is concerned, not just in the Commission but also in this House.
Please do not interrupt me, Mr Poettering, it cannot be translated. You are not speaking into the microphone.
That is one of the problems we are facing, and I would add that Mr Dell'Alba’s attack on Mrs Stauner should be repudiated in just the same way. Some serious work has been done here and it is only natural that it should contain personal touches and reflect the writer’s own cultural background to some extent, but I repudiate determinedly, and with a sense of consternation, the fact that the integrity of rapporteurs is under attack here. It is hardly surprising that two Members of the Conference of Presidents should have a problem with the control and authority exercised by the Committee on Budgetary Control.
I would like to endorse Mr Staes’ comment that the stipulations contained in this framework agreement on the transfer of documents are an affront, and no Parliamentarian worth his salt can do other than regard them as such and repudiate them accordingly.
I have a problem with your closing comments, Mrs Schreyer, in which you again presented the new Commission’s entire reform project, and would remind you of what President Prodi said in this House about Parliament’s access to documents, namely transparency and open access. What we have today are secret negotiations and countless dossiers, and I ask myself how, at the end of the day, we are supposed to come into our own as representatives of the European tax-payers?"@en1
