"The European Transparency Initiative stresses that ‘citizens have the right to know how their taxes are being spent and how the power entrusted to political bodies is handled’, so it is clear that the European institutions should improve transparency in the implementation of Union legislation. Pursuant to Articles 316, 317 and 319 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Parliament has granted discharge in respect of all the Union accounts for the financial year 2009, including those of the Council. I agree with the proposal to refuse to grant the Secretary-General of the Council discharge in respect of the implementation of the Council budget for the financial year 2009, since a formal meeting needs to be held between the representatives of the Council and the parliamentary committee responsible for the discharge process. The Council must also send all the documentation required by the European Parliament, since that is the only way it will be possible to undertake a rigorous and transparent analysis of the aforementioned accounts. I also believe the European Parliament should carry out a political assessment of the institution’s financial management during the year under examination, thereby guaranteeing the public that public money is properly managed and spent."@en1
