lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs van der Laan. I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on this report, and to express my utter admiration for the way in which she completed the task, the skill with which she handled the matter, without getting carried away by the excesses which are always possible in the matter of discharge, as we have already seen. I believe the discharge procedure is a very important one, which should be handled with care, as the saying goes, and I think it is reasonable for Parliament to look into the shortcomings detected in the management of public monies, of which there have been many in recent years, generally attributable, it must be said, to the Member States. This is a point to which we shall return when discussing other Court of Auditors reports. I think that Parliament must focus especially on this aspect during this term of office. There were also shortcomings within the Commission. Discharge for 1997 was a rather special case, coinciding as it did with an extremely difficult time for the Commission. I think the report, and the way it has been settled, and the way I should like to see it definitively settled without it forcing us to take another turn around the discharge procedure, will enable us to look to the future, taking as our model, to some extent, this discharge which is the fruit of lengthy deliberation by Parliament and which has given rise to certain responses from the Commission. We have examined these responses, and have found the majority of them satisfactory, as is recorded. A new approach has now been adopted to ensure that discharges are confined to the business of the budget. I think we are moving in the right direction and, in this spirit, we shall be voting in favour of the van der Laan report."@en1
