". I voted in favour of the resolution for the following reasons: I consider that, in view of the increase in administrative expenditure and especially due to the possible presence of expenditure of an operational nature, the Council’s expenditure should be scrutinised in the same way as that of the other EU institutions as part of the discharge procedure provided for by Article 319 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union; I agree that Parliament’s position is to reject the Council’s statement that the fact that Parliament and the Council have not, in the past, scrutinised the implementation of their respective sections of the budget was due to the gentlemen’s agreement (resolution recorded in the minutes of the Council meeting of 22 April 1970); I consider the gentlemen’s agreement not to be a binding document and the interpretation given to it by the Council to be excessively broad; I believe that the preparation of the budget and the discharge of the budget are two separate procedures and that the gentlemen’s agreement between the Council and Parliament on the preparation of their respective sections of the budget must not exonerate the Council of its responsibility to be fully accountable to the public for the funds placed at its disposal."@en1
