lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I, too, regret the Council’s conspicuous absence tonight. I think that we all ought to try to ensure that the Council definitely attends the discharge resolution by Mr Fjellner sometime next year. The Council cannot be allowed to be absent from such debates, especially since 80% of the funds are spent by Member States in cooperation with the Commission. I would like to thank the European Court of Auditors for the sympathetic attitude which it always takes towards Parliament. I think the cooperation is excellent and I hope it will stay that way. The ultimate goal for all of us still is to receive a positive Statement of Assurance (DAS). We all know that that has not been possible in the past seventeen years, and I agree with Mr Fjellner that maintaining the status quo is not satisfactory. Things are getting better, but the ultimate goal must be two per cent. We will soon be starting again with the preparatory measures for a new multiannual budget. We also have legislation providing the basis for that. It would be good if the Court of Auditors and the Commission could publish items on where the bottlenecks, in their eyes, really are. It is very good that certain countries are being highlighted, and I think that the Commission should focus on that. As the Committee on Budgetary Control, we have invited the finance ministers of those countries to provide us with a text and an explanation. They have still not responded to that invitation, but we hope that that will happen soon. What is essential for Parliament, as indeed was recently confirmed in a vote in this hemicycle, is that Parliament still wants more political responsibility for spending in the Member States. This means that Parliament, as things currently stand, will insist that, in contrast to the current period, all Member States issue a statement of proper financial management of EU funds in the next period."@en1
