lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, the protection of the financial interests of the Communities, which is directly linked to the fight against fraud, constitutes a duty which is divided up between all of us, on the one hand, and the reasonable protection and expectation of citizens and society, on the other. Combating fraud must be considered a national and Community priority, not only of an economic but also of a cultural nature. It is a question of a general culture, over and above the question of unfair competition. In this direction, policy-making and the rules for applying policy are of paramount importance. One of the financial sectors which is in the limelight is the agricultural sector. It is a complex, multidimensional sector with dispersed social characteristics. The mid-term review of the CAP and the simplification promised are a positive starting point for the application of effective control and transparent management systems. Within the same framework, the recent agreement on a new financing regime for the CAP which, as you mentioned earlier, has already been decided by the Council of Ministers for Agriculture, appears to serve the same objectives of the simplification of procedures and the efficacy of the support provided. The application of new systems for managing the common market organisations depends on an additional effort by the Member States, who must always keep a more beneficial ratio between costs and anticipated benefits in mind. The simplification of the payment and control mechanisms must be promoted, so that there is a clear division between irregularity and fraud, especially in a complex sector such as agriculture. Nonetheless, the main responsibility lies with the Community institutions. Within the framework of their competences, they should act and cooperate for the benefit of the Union. The citizens' expectations are that we should have correct management of the resources of the European Union. To close, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on his integrated proposal on the question of combating fraud and protecting the interests of the European Union."@en1
