"Mr President, it is interesting – if somewhat depressing – to listen to the discussion and debate here this evening, particularly when the European Union is acting in good faith in trying to help countries in difficulties.
Our own country, Ireland, has benefited to a certain extent, and particularly the globalisation funds, which should be upcoming, are an example of that. At the same time, one wonders how, when money is made available to these countries under what are described as harsh conditions, there is maladministration taking place. One would imagine that part of those harsh conditions would be to ensure that there would not be maladministration and, if there was, that there would be a correction put in place.
Can the Commission ensure that these funds can either be cut off or withdrawn or some fines or other put in place? Because it is not acceptable that, if something is given – as my colleague, Ms Harkin said – on trust, that trust is not returned.
Secondly – and finally – we will never get to the situation that Proinsias De Rossa spoke about of having a better society post-depression than we have now."@en1
