"It is regrettable that this Parliament does not adopt the same moralising and indignant tone and does not have the same concern for taxpayers’ money regardless of whether it is a question of its expenses or those of another institution. Thus, it granted the Commission discharge even though, for the fifteenth consecutive year, the European Court of Auditors was unable to give a favourable opinion on the execution of the Commission’s budget. Thus, it is pleased to grant discharge itself in the name of the gentlemen’s agreement that it denounces today.
It forgets its own depravity a little too quickly: the financial involvement
by an outgoing President to acquire an apartment in Brussels just before being replaced; the explosion of costs incurred by the reforms of the Statute for Members of the European Parliament and the statute for assistants, poorly evaluated upstream; the recent increase in funds and in MEPs’ staff under false pretences; or even the provision of an iPad for each MEP. Certainly, control of the use of public money is crucial. However, we refuse to associate ourselves with the small war that you are conducting against the Council for political reasons."@en1
