I should first like to acknowledge the excellent work of my Polish colleague Mr Lewandowski on the 2009 budget guidelines of the ‘other institutions’, namely the European Parliament but also the Council, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, the European Ombudsman and the European Data Protection Supervisor.
This document runs through the main challenges that will be on Parliament’s agenda for 2009, particularly the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. Everything must be done to ensure that Parliament’s enhanced responsibilities following the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon are taken into account in the budget. However, I wonder whether, prior to the budget procedures, an audit should be carried out of the human resources allocated to the European Parliament’s activities. The European Parliament’s political leaders are becoming increasingly important and it is essential that MEPs have the means to work in complete independence.
It would seem that the resources currently allocated are no longer a match for the broader political responsibilities that the European Parliament is having to and, in future, will have to take on to represent European citizens properly."@en1
