"Mr President, I too wish to say a few words about the report on discharge for our own Parliament, the European Parliament. This is a huge scandal we have here, what with the rents and Strasbourg. I obviously share the view that discharge cannot be granted under these circumstances. It is not enough merely to postpone discharge. Rather, we must also resolve all the uncertainties before the issue can finally be settled. That is not, however, the only reason for denying discharge to our own institution. The fact is that the report on discharge has had an airbrush applied to it, and a lot of the serious criticism of the pensions system has been removed. I think that this criticism alone is reason enough for denying the European Parliament discharge. It is not only that our pensions system has no legal basis and is not paid for out of our salaries. It is also badly regulated and has huge deficits paid for by the taxpayers. Moreover, no account has been taken of the Court of Auditors’ criticism. This issue too must be investigated further in the course of the work that lies ahead."@en1
