lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I too wish to thank the Commissioner and all my fellow Members who contributed to this report, whether today during the debate or through their amendments. I would also like to thank the shadow rapporteurs with whom I enjoyed excellent relations. This report is the result of the collaboration and excellent cooperation I had. I would like to reiterate that the difference between irregularities and fraud must be clearly defined. While we may agree to tolerate errors and irregularities, there must be zero tolerance of fraud. Secondly, the national management declarations must be signed by the national politician responsible for this, such as the relevant minister. Thirdly, we are awaiting with great interest the check being carried out by the Commission on the simplified procedure because it is of paramount importance for the European Union’s own resources to be collected in the most efficient way possible and for the budget to be consolidated as effectively as possible. Fourthly, with regard to the public procurement law and bureaucracy relating to the use of European funds at national level, we have to tackle excessive red tape in many Member States, which is intended, on the one hand, to combat fraud but, on the other hand, creates opportunities for corruption and making fraudulent use of European funds. Otherwise, as they are highly politicised, the funds go to political beneficiaries. Last but not least, and as the final point in my speech, I want to welcome the proposal tabled by my colleague Jens Geier on introducing a system for automatically suspending European funds when any suspicion of fraud arises. I think that this will ensure that Member States too respond much more quickly when we sound the alarm bell."@en1
