"I, too, should like to take my turn in congratulating the rapporteur on his excellent report on the very interesting and crucial issue of budgetary control of EU financial assistance to Afghanistan. Our role and duty as the European Parliament is to maintain the principle of sound budgetary management of financial assistance granted by the EU, via the Community budget, from European taxpayers’ money. The maintenance of this principle must apply to assistance granted both to EU Member States and to third countries. In this spirit, I warmly support the rapporteur’s call for the European Commission to address the weaknesses identified in the audits carried out by the European Court of Auditors and third-party auditing agencies. Accountability in respect of EU funds channelled to Afghanistan and managed by various UN agencies also needs to be strengthened and the EU institutions need to gain access to the internal reports produced by those agencies. With transparency and accountability, we can ensure that the money from the UN budget is spent correctly and effectively."@en1
