lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, thank you very much for this debate. This question seems very technical. It is very difficult to explain to the larger public what is actually behind this declaration of assurance. However, we must work to find solutions which do not bring the very negative political outcome of having to say that the money is not under control. I hope, therefore, that the Council and Member States will consider this new basis for merging their work. This is already done at the level of paying agencies and other implementing authorities. Let us try to provide a single integrated assurance, which also offers positive evidence to the Court of Auditors. Let us try to find solutions. As I mentioned earlier, the Commission is fully aware of the areas in the Commission itself in which the Court of Auditors has found a lot of mistakes in internal policies and in research and development. The action plan includes 16 actions, only one of which is directly aimed at the Member States. However, I hope that this cooperation will bear fruit. I would like to make a factual remark concerning the statement that the Court of Auditors has rejected our accounts. This is not true. During my term of office, the Court of Auditors has never rejected our accounts. It cannot always assure the legality and regularity of underlying transactions, as provided in the Treaty. This means that it cannot claim that millions of transactions are properly checked. This is true. It is also very important when we meet journalists to describe the complexity of the picture. This is a huge exercise. The budget discharge includes millions of details. A better understanding of the picture will certainly help."@en1
