lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank first of all the President of the European Court of Auditors, Mr da Silva Caldeira, who came here to Parliament today to present the 2010 annual report. I should point out that the work carried out annually by this institution is particularly important: through the publication of its reports and opinions, it keeps all European citizens objectively informed on topics such as the most significant errors recorded in requests for funds, thereby helping consumers to improve the format of their requests and, consequently, to obtain funds more effectively. As far as I have understood from the President’s speech this afternoon, in 2010, payments underlying the accounts still showed up some relevant errors – some 3.7% of the EU’s spending, which amounts to a total of EUR 122.2 billion. I am also happy to hear the information the President wanted to underline, which was that this error percentage does not provide an estimate of cases of fraud. Often, it relates to imprecise calculations of costs declared for projects cofinanced by the EU or declarations of costs which are ineligible when instead, they were thought to be eligible; as a member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and in consideration of the anticipated reduction in funds, I am particularly interested in the 2.3% error rate for agriculture with some substantial differences: the control of spending on direct payments has not brought up relevant errors, while payments for rural development display a higher frequency of error, at no less than 50%. Finally, the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund registered a 27% error rate on examined payments."@en1
