"I will speak about the blockage of Sapard payments for Romania and its short and medium-term effects.
A European Commission mission of June 2008 visited Bulgaria and Romania and ordered the suspension of payments in Sapard projects. It requested actions to remedy procedures deemed non-compliant and, in Romania, the authorities directly involved and responsible proposed an action plan to remedy the problems, which was accepted.
Nevertheless, difficulties have only begun now. National payments will be resumed, probably in September, by implementing procedures related to the manner of making payments and with an independent audit, which may last for one year, ensuring that they are compliant and with the major risk that money could be lost permanently, unfortunately in a region that was seriously affected by floods this summer.
If the twelve previous audit missions found no irregularities, if deficiencies are not fundamental, I wonder and I ask the European Commission if sometimes savings from the agriculture budget are not more important than the Sapard projects and their results.
I see only one solution, namely to accept the deadline extension by one more year."@en1
