lpv:translated text	". Today, Parliament has the pleasure of discussing the enlightening report by the European Court of Auditors about the spending of European funds in 2005. Once again, the auditors are not impressed. There are still too many errors that are too substantial and too structural in the way in which European funds are spent. In that sense, this report is not very different from its eleven predecessors. What is different, though, is the reaction to the Court of Auditors' negative verdict. European institutions, the Commission among them, would formerly indulge in regular sessions of and promises of improvement. This time round, the Commission has mounted a full-on offensive, and the Court of Auditors is being accused of being overly critical and having produced an ambiguous report. They even claim that we must learn to live with some mistakes. It is a fact, however, that Europe is the proud owner of 200 000 virtual cows that receive subsidies even though they do not exist. It is a fact that major errors have once again been flagged in the areas of olive oil, the export subsidies and the structural funds. It is a fact that, as a result, funds do not end up where they are most needed. Also, it is a fact that, as a result, the European public is increasingly losing faith in the Union. A grown-up institution should be able to use criticism to its advantage. The European institutions are demonstrating that they, even at the age of 50, have not yet reached this level of maturity."@en1
