"Madam President, Mr Geier has presented our position in this matter – the position of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament. The Committee on Budgetary Control also works according to the following principle: while respecting the balance between individual institutions of the European Union, we still emphasise the importance of transparency in the financial clearing process. It is our position that it is we, the European Parliament, who represent the citizens, the electorate. We are at an important moment in history, where every euro of public money spent should be accounted for publicly. We have been concerned with a trend which has been growing for years, namely, the Council’s reluctance to embrace such full, open dialogue, regardless of the position of the Presidency, whether social democratic or right-wing. The Council’s position has always been the same. In our opinion, there is a certain factor in the decision-making process which is found in the administrative, bureaucratic side of the Council, and we would like to begin working together much more closely."@en1
