"The 2008 report once again gives cause for penetrating analysis and action, including on the part of the European Parliament. I thank you for this report. This approach – this cooperation – has led to demonstrable improvements over recent years.
Nevertheless, as coordinator for the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I wish to make a few comments on regional policy in particular. Is it true that the 11% error rate in regional policy is based on those three Member States, and how does that relate to your projections? Is it true that most of the shortcomings were found in the procurement procedures? Is it true that it was too soon for the report to reflect the improvements in the expenditure under the new, current, regulation 2007-2013? As you know, many improvements have been made to this over the last year. If that is the case, and in view of those changes – those improvements in the current legislation – we can continue to work in the vein of that upward trend of improvements in the period up to 2013.
It is also important that these improvements in the transposition of European legislation be implemented much more emphatically in the procurement rules, that there be improvements in the powers to overcome obstacles and in enforcement, particularly in the Member States. After all, there is strong friction here in the relationship between the European and national levels. Therefore, we do have to name the countries concerned.
This 11% figure will then be able to change from red, which is unacceptable, to yellow and finally to green. That is why citizens have elected us, to obtain more results and greater clarity in this field. I am also happy to take on board the suggestions for simplification contained in your report."@en1
