"Madam President, I welcome this report, which strives for greater transparency in the fight against corruption, and which deserves support. In the autumn of last year, at the presentation from the European Court of Auditors, we were already discussing the responsibility of Member States for monitoring the overall issuing of EU funds.
In my opinion, it is right and proper that every Member State should protect the financial interests of the EU by ensuring reliable controls at the national level for the detection of irregularities and fraud. In connection with this, there is also a need for Member States and the Commission to cooperate in the provision of comprehensive and reliable information. The mandatory declaration of a report at the national level must be duly checked by the national monitoring body. The Convention on the Protection of the Financial Interests of the European Communities is surely an appropriate supporting instrument.
However, the Czech Republic, which is mentioned in the report, has not yet ratified the Convention, because it requires the introduction of criminal liability for legal entities. The law of the Czech Republic is traditionally based on the criminal liability only of natural persons. The matter is now under discussion, however, on the floor of the Parliament of the Czech Republic."@en1
