"The right to parliamentary control and scrutiny of the sections of the EU budget is enshrined in the EU Treaties. We need to put a stop to the practice of transferring individual discharge decisions to all institutions. The responsibility for implementing the budget rests with the institution concerned and should not be shifted onto the Commission. In particular, outstanding questions that are raised by the European Parliament during the discharge procedure – as was the case in the procedure for 2009 – should actually be answered by the Council. Moreover, the refusal of the Council to answer these questions contravenes the agreed reciprocity with regard to the transmission of documents and the answering of questions.
Control by the Court of Auditors is also separated from those institutions by the Commission, and discharge can only be granted by the European Parliament. It is precisely this democratic accountability that must be retained in the interests of the citizens, all the more so since there has, for many years, been a trend to outsource responsibilities to EU agencies. I voted against the report on account of this outsourcing trend."@en1
