lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, I should like to offer my sincere congratulations to the rapporteur on this report and my thanks for including some key elements from the Committee on Budgets in compromise amendments. As the rapporteur and also the Commissioner have already said, we are now at a stage at which such reports are extremely important. On the one hand, there is enlargement, which the European School system is clearly not yet tackling successfully. There has been a barrage of complaints from parents about the extent of the failure of this school system to cope with the enlargement by ten new Member States despite this being a foreseeable development. I would say to the Commissioner that this is a sphere in which we, and also the Commission, as the Union’s executive body, must take action. The Commission will have Parliament’s backing. A second point is that, of course, it is very important to this House that those who pay have a little more say on the Board of Governors than 1 vote out of 26. This emerges clearly from the report. Here, too, we are of the same opinion. After all, we are paying 57% of the budget; the Member States 22%, and this is completely disproportionate to our right to have a say. A further challenge is that the Heads of State or Government never tire of inventing new agencies. The Commission is not entirely innocent of this. We should of course add in parenthesis at this point that every agency can potentially bring a school in its wake. For this reason, too, it is important to ask the right questions and seek answers. Finally, on the subject of the smaller schools, we shall have to proceed differently according to regional viewpoints, which is why we have attached great importance to preparing a certain amount of budgetary decentralisation. The Member States will have to be held more financially responsible."@en1
