"Madam President, representatives of the Commission and the Court of Auditors, I rise as coordinator for regional policy of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats).
Looking at the error rate, I see that a clear improvement has been made in terms of cohesion. We can now see the impact of the new regulations we adopted for the 2007-2013 period and of the action plans which were keenly advocated, not only by Parliament, but also by both the current and previous Commission. Most of the problems, or errors, are to be found in the public procurement dossier. Transposition of European legislation into the laws of a number of Member States and the associated implementation have driven up the error rate to its present very high level.
I therefore ask the Commissioners to come up with an action plan that would, amongst other things, put pressure on Member States or support them with regard to public procurement. Last week, I had the opportunity of heading a European Parliament delegation to Romania and we were able to see how they were struggling with this and what kind of difficulties they were up against. We could make a lot of progress here.
Finally, I, too, am very much in favour of national management declarations; that is, financial declarations that Member States would be required to submit, because Member State level is precisely where most of the faults lie."@en1
