lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must talk about control issues, as I am sure Mrs Morgan will do. I would like to welcome her and congratulate her on recently becoming a mother. Mr Kinnock, there is a Spanish phrase which says, ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’. You have a very difficult task and I have the impression that, in order to progress from intentions to actions, you must put your foot down and take risks, as President Prodi promised us when he began his five-year mandate. There are issues of budgetary control which I would like you to expand on in your written reply. I remember that, a year ago, you told us that eighty officials were expected for the central auditing service to begin work in full in April on an evaluation of the management and control system. We do not know whether this is yet under way. We do not know whether centralised prior approval is yet under way insofar as a high degree of experience in the authorising bodies has been achieved. We do not know whether specific prior controls are operating, on the basis of a risk analysis and according to the wishes of the authorising officers. We have great doubts, Mr Kinnock, about the future of the financial regulation, which must be created urgently. It will not be your exclusive responsibility, but we are very unclear about this. We are worried. You are going to produce a new version. When will this be? What is happening with the Convention on the protection of the Community’s financial interests? What is happening with the helpdesk which you were going to set up so that the measures in the White Paper could be consulted by officials? I could go on and on. We have the impression that the task is enormous, that there is a timetable to be created. You know that you have our support. We want you to take risks. We will support you if you make a mistake, as we supported Mr Prodi when he told us about it, but perhaps we need someone to put their foot down and timescales to be respected and promises to become realities, Mr Kinnock."@en1
