lpv:translated text	"In its annual report, the Court of Auditors gives a positive statement of assurance on the EU 2005 accounts and congratulates the Commission on putting in place the new accounting system for the fiscal year. However, as regards the legality and regularity of underlying operations – that is to say, payments to and from the EU coffers – the Court notes that adapted risk management is not always guaranteed when it comes to important areas of expenditure. Most of these mistakes are the result of ignorance of the applicable rules, ineligible expenses or attempted fraud on the part of end beneficiaries (farmers, local authorities or project managers). Who is to blame for this? Firstly, the Commission, which, according to the Treaties, is directly responsible for the implementation of the European budget. It has to strengthen the quality of internal control, and procedures must be simplified to prevent non-compliance with eligibility criteria, the double charging of costs and the overstatement of costs. Lastly, the Member States must also assume their responsibilities, given that 76% of the funds are spent by national or local administrations. It is in my view of paramount importance that the Member States undertake to submit their annual statements on how the EU funds that they manage are spent."@en1
