lpv:translated text	"First of all, I wish to thank Victor Caldeira for this clear report, which is relevant to the Commission’s activities and the implementation of the 2009 budget. Secondly, I want to clarify from the start something of vital importance to us: once every five years, we are elected and sent to the European Parliament by Europe’s citizens, the people who pay taxes and duties and who ultimately make this budget. From their point of view, based on the fact that we regularly go back home and meet with them, the implementation of the 2009 budget cannot be regarded as a success. Let me give you just two reasons for this. Firstly, the national management declarations made are not supported politically. In other words, there is no signature either from the minister for finance or the prime minister. As a result, we do not know who is responsible for these national management declarations and to what extent they are comprehensible and accurate. In practical terms, this paves the way for false reporting and, if not false, then at least incomplete. Secondly, where errors have been made in the management of European funds, every state must pay the money back to the Commission. In other words, Europe’s citizens pay money once to create the European budget and, on the other hand, as losers, they again cover the loss in the national budget. Therefore, the citizens of the European Union pay twice for the mistakes, errors or even fraudulent acts committed in the management of European funds. Thirdly, I support the Commission and the European Court of Auditors. I, too, am in favour of closer ties between this institution and the national audit bodies in each Member State. I believe that if we want to have more money in the budget, we must spend better, in the first place, the money we have. To spend better the money we have, we must first of all know where problems are and how we can solve them."@en1
