"I voted in favour of the European Parliament report refusing discharge to the Council in respect of the implementation of the 2009 budget. As the only elected institution of the European Union, the European Parliament has the powers to verify and, if it deems appropriate, to grant discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union and, hence, of all its individual bodies, with the aim of providing comprehensive and fully transparent information to European citizens and of guaranteeing democratic scrutiny and political appraisal of its fiscal management. The important documents submitted by the Council are a constructive step towards ensuring the democratic accountability of the Council’s administrative budget.
However, Parliament feels that it has not received satisfactory replies to outstanding questions and the administration of the Council has refused to meet with the competent parliamentary committee. The report therefore rightly refuses discharge in respect of the implementation of the Council budget until such time as Parliament has been provided with all the necessary documents and has performed the corresponding checks."@en1
