lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Commission’s report under discussion illustrates how extensively EU resources are divided up. At the same time, it shows how large a part the Member States play in administering the EU budget, as they use up 80% of all expenditure. Mr Bösch has drafted a creditable report and I would like to thank him for it. The report also shows clearly how important it was to establish OLAF in 1999. In my opinion, it would be important in the fight against fraud to bear in mind certain principles. Firstly, let us speak of the principle of legality. It is vital to comply with the law when using funds and investigating irregularities, and the final outcome should not be anticipated before a legal decision comes into effect. Administration has to be simplified; there is an end to how much increased bureaucracy and supervision will improve the way funds are spent. Personal responsibility has to be increased – in this respect, the Commission’s reform has been vital – and cooperation between the European Union and the Member States must be improved: that, too, will be vital in the future."@en1
