lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I was interested to hear the information about the communication problems with the European Council regarding fulfilment of its chapter of the general budget. As far as I am aware, control over the executive is one of the fundamental tasks of MEPs. The Council, the Commission and also the other EU institutions handle the financial resources of EU citizens according to agreed rules. It is therefore natural that the elected representatives of the people perform checks on behalf of taxpayers as to whether the institutions are handling citizens’ money carefully and in accordance with the agreed rules. It works the same way in all democratic states. I therefore cannot understand the position of the European Council, which refuses to give us the cooperation necessary for assessing its budget. We are not asking whether Mr Sarkozy or Mrs Merkel are visiting a better or worse restaurant or purchasing a better or worse briefcase, or buying the clothes of this or that firm, but we are asking how they handle the public resources of taxpayers, and we are fully entitled to do this, and they are wholly obliged to provide this information."@en1
