lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, when I meet my voters I often describe this institution as a computer, where the Member States provide the hardware, the Commission provides the software, Parliament is probably the keyboard where you can interact, and in that sense, the control by the Court of Auditors is certainly the control panel of the computer. We never purchase a computer on the basis of looking at the control panel, but none of our computers works for a long time without a proper control panel system inside. I would like to congratulate the Court of Auditors on being an appropriate control panel for this institution and improving, with every year, its own work, but also reminding us to do our own homework on improvement. What I learn from the Court of Auditors’ reports after being here for six years is that we often make mistakes and that we should try to remind colleagues back in the Member States what they have to do. But for me, the most important message is that, when the Lisbon Treaty comes into force, we need to reduce the complexity, to provide better conditions for our expenditure at local level and to get the money in time to those who are applying for it, whether they are small- and medium-sized enterprises, researchers or farmers, back in our countries. The message for us is that we have to improve skills at local level. We have to further reduce the complexity at European level. We have to go for better cooperation among Member States’ auditing systems and we have to work together in the future. Thank you for the last five years of cooperation."@en1
