"As the vote by Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control demonstrated, many people were unhappy with the way the European Police College managed its finances in 2008 and previous years. This is a unique situation – until now no European agency has ever failed to be granted discharge. However, now it is important to look to the future. General Banfi, the new head of the European Police College, has taken over a difficult situation and must regain the trust of Parliament and taxpayers. Furthermore, I believe that the ongoing discussions on the College’s ineffective management of the budget and human resources are only diverting our attention from a greater problem - the lack of integrity and professionalism in police and security bodies throughout Europe, including Lithuania. We must devote more attention to efforts to improve the Police College’s basic functions – we must take more robust measures to combat crime, through education and special training. As I said during the part-session last October, the European Police College has noble objectives – to promote common European policing standards and strengthen the rule of law and legislation. What happens to the European Police College in future is not important, but all Member States must ensure that these objectives are achieved."@en1
