In the name of the Committee on Budgetary Control, I would like to express my gratitude that on 15 November we were able to hold our plenary session in parallel with the hearings of the Barroso Commission. The 2003 Annual Report of the European Court of Auditors was presented at this session. This is one of the most important functions of the European Parliament, and it marked the beginning of the discharge procedure. President Fabra Vallés offered a comprehensive evaluation for the fiscal year 2003. I would like to express our appreciation for the Court of Auditors’ fair, professional and balanced report.
As you know, our committee introduced the reform of the discharge procedure this year. The complicated, impersonal written queries have been replaced by oral hearings of the commissioners, thus creating open, vibrant and meaningful floors for discussion. A fruitful dialogue has developed between Parliament, the Commission and the Court of Auditors. I would like to thank the Commission’s, and especially Mr Sim Kallas’ positive attitude and cooperative approach. In conclusion, the integration of the European Court of Auditors in the discharge procedure and the emphasis on the role of the rapporteur was overall well-received, as Mr Terence Wynn will talk about later in detail."@en1
