"Madam President, for my part, too, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur. I believe that the activity performed by Parliament, the Court of Auditors and the national audit offices of countries, Member States alike is highly important. It is extremely important that we do our job transparently and, if possible, impeccably. Naturally, the most important concomitant of Parliament’s credibility is that we ourselves are all beyond reproach. With regard to itself, Parliament certainly needs to introduce rules for itself that are better and more effective than at present. At the same time, I would like to emphasise that it is very important to distinguish between irregularities and fraud because irregularity is not the same as fraud. Defrauders must be punished. For irregularities a different method must be applied. The goal must be that all spending organisations of all Member States know the rules precisely to ensure that as few mistakes as possible are made. It is no coincidence that we see that in the new Member States, where the debate has now begun and the use of funds has started, inexperience is one of the contributing factors."@en1
