lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, it is vitally important that we emphasise the fact that the Court of Auditors’ conclusions acknowledge the progress which has been made by the Commission in controlling the absorption of European funds. However, at the same time, I hope that the recommendations and proposals made by the European Parliament in the discharge reports, reiterated for years on end, will actually be taken into consideration, especially in the areas where we still have a high level of irregularities. The quality of the information supplied to us by the Court of Auditors should be even better as well. I believe that we should really be given the precise figures and level of irregularities which we need to know. The good news for 2009 is that the level of irregularities in the area of cohesion policy has fallen significantly compared to last year. However, the big question remains whether this reduction will be sustainable over time or is simply a fluke which may also be due to the specific countries chosen to be audited. However, in any event, there are unresolved issues on the agenda, linked to irregularities in the areas of external aid, development and enlargement, agriculture, research, energy and transport, education and citizenship. I want to assure the Court of Auditors, the Commission and Council that our work in the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control will be very extensively and essentially focused over the coming months on making the management of European funds more efficient. We will continue to emphasise the responsibilities which need to be assumed in this regard by the European Commission and Member States and strictly adhered to, as well as the measures to be taken against offenders in order to achieve a real result in protecting the interests of the European taxpayer."@en1
