lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur and the Committee on Budgetary Control for presenting a clear and unanimous recommendation. We cannot approve the Council’s accounts as things currently stand. This situation is not a new one. In the spring of 2009, we postponed approval of the Council’s accounts to the autumn. They were only approved then because the Council made some concessions – not many, but they were moving in the right direction towards more cooperation and greater openness. The same thing happened in 2010. This year, however, it has been different. For example, as we have heard, the Council is still refusing to answer our questions. How can we approve accounts if we cannot obtain answers to even the simplest of questions? We obviously cannot, at least not while retaining our self respect. I very much regret the fact that the majority in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament has changed its position. I regret the fact that we no longer have unanimity within the Committee on Budgetary Control, with the S&D Group having decided to go its own way. However, I nevertheless hope, and am certain, that there will still be a majority here in Parliament that will fight for more openness and transparency, also with regard to the Council’s accounts."@en1
