"I too should like to express my appreciation for all the Members of the Court of Auditors who are departing.
It is noticeable again that this year, as the Court of Auditors has already expressed in rather vague terms, there is no Statement of Assurance. The question arises as to how long this situation can continue like this. 2001 is the first year for which the current Commission shoulders all responsibility. In my opinion, there should come a day when a positive Statement of Assurance
be made. I should like to suggest that the Commission sets the year 2000 as a target date. For each year, an action plan should be drafted in which the Commission outlines its objectives. We must ensure that the necessary arrangements are then in place for certain Directorates-General, with a margin of error of, say, less than 1%.
As far as the Member States are concerned, we all know that that is where the money is spent. In my view, the system we are currently using for the agricultural funds is workable: if a Member State spends certain amounts inappropriately, the Commission will need to introduce capping. I should like to see the Commission make proposals for extending this system to include other sectors of the budget, notably the Structural Funds."@en1
