"Madam President, I would like to express my support for the rapporteur in his wholly justified criticism of the Commission’s annual report. The Commission has focused only formally on what it was notified of by the Member States.
Commissioner, you should look more deeply, with the help of the specialised bodies. You simply have to make a greater effort, and you must try to apply the latest methodologies for measuring the extent of irregularities and fraud. If we continued with the methodology represented in the Commission’s annual report for 2009, we would have only estimates for many of the suspicious items. For example, some large States receiving a high level of funding report a very low level of irregularities and fraud. Is the situation in these States really so positive, or is the national methodology for identifying these aberrations simply lenient in some way?
I fully agree with the rapporteur that the Commission is putting a disproportionately large effort into convincing us in Parliament of the need to introduce a tolerable risk of error, rather than trying to persuade Member States of the need for mandatory national management declarations."@en1
