lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the Committee on Budgetary Control on its determination to shed every possible light on the management of the Committee of the Regions. We have gone a long way since February 2003. The first plan was to grant it discharge for satisfactory management, but the reports from the Court of Auditors and OLAF have confirmed the need for the report. None of this would have been possible without the high professional and moral qualities – yes, you have to be able to stand up to pressure! – of Mr McCoy, the financial controller, who today deserves all the European Parliament’s gratitude. The amendments which I have tabled are in line with the report and are based on proven facts. In that, their adoption is essentially a technicality and I hope that a large number of Members will be able to support them. On the other hand, it seems to me premature to grant discharge. The Casaca report is a cruel reminder to those who saw fit to grant discharge to the Commission last April that it cannot be granted by giving the benefit of the doubt. We should not vote for discharge if there is no enthusiasm for it and not blow only the fuses. The Parliament, which has to check that the budget has been properly executed, must be certain of the progress made, of the measures taken, of any sanctions imposed, and not be content with promises or statements of intent. And as the Commission is attentively following our debates, I will take advantage of the fact to point out that this comment applies to everyone. It is not addressed to the Committee on the Regions alone."@en1
