lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it really does seem to me that this is very much a question for the Council to raise, especially as we are currently talking about a new treaty that is set to revolutionise the new European Union, and placing the Court of Auditors in the section ‘other institutions and advisory bodies’ is a clear downgrading of this institution in terms of how it is viewed by citizens. The control function of the Court of Auditors is not just based on monitoring expenses and checking whether our common funds – the European Union’s public funds – have been properly distributed; it is the watchdog for budgetary discipline throughout the European Union, including in the Council, Parliament and the European Commission. Its recommendations and judgments help us all in our work. The strong position of the Court of Auditors must be clear and evident to all EU citizens, as it is also the institution that confirms citizens’ trust in the EU as a whole. If you do not think that this is a matter for the Council, then I should like to know who it is a matter for, because the Council’s remit – and the remit of the work currently being carried out – also includes the matter of locating the Court of Auditors in the right place, and in my view the right place is where all the most important EU institutions can be found (I am talking about the new treaty that we are currently engaged in drafting)."@en1
