"Mr President, for the last few years the EU auditors have been saying that a large proportion of the irregularities are due to complex rules. This recast of the Financial Regulation was meant primarily to solve that problem. While this proposal is a long way from achieving that goal, what worries me most is that it fails to include fundamental aspects of control. Why does it exclude the demand for an annual treasury audit when this function is at the core of the management of taxpayers’ money? Such an audit would reveal the failures of the system to prevent, detect and control any misappropriation of EU funding. However, since my time as chief accounting officer of the European Commission, I have seen such important and basic procedures dismissed. I will not vote in favour of any regulation that does not include fundamental control procedures that strengthen the Commission’s responsibility regarding taxpayers’ funds."@en1
