"The Council was refused the vote of its discharge for implementing its 2009 budget. According to the Treaty, the European Parliament is the budgetary control authority and has sole authority to grant discharge. Thus, the Council must provide Parliament with any information it deems necessary. By refusing to answer our questions, the Council is, in fact, refusing to inform the European citizens on the way it manages the money that European taxpayers have entrusted to it. To grant discharge, we must have access to the accounts. As long as the Council refuses to comply, the European Parliament will not be able to grant discharge. This is the very principle of democratic control that our Parliament must exercise."@en1
