lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Europe has major economic and political problems. There are no excuses for carelessness with public funds, and the error rate in the budget is unacceptably high. However, the Commission itself is not responsible for all of the errors, we know that. The Member States bear the main responsibility, and the major shortcomings that were mentioned earlier with regard to how the money is used at national level are unacceptable. Responsible politicians in these Member States must take responsibility for these errors – whether they are right or left leaning. It is no good pointing the finger at Brussels and the EU when it is your own management of the funds that has been careless. A number of the Member States have also refused to publish their annual reports concerning EU funds. Why this secrecy? Commissioner, you have promised today that all reports are to be made available. That is good and it is what we want, but I think it is probably a bit late. We ought to have more time to be able to read through these reports and carry out a thorough analysis. I therefore believe that we should postpone the decision on discharge for the Commission so that we have time to go through all the facts. I think this is a reasonable request, and in view of what my colleagues in my group said earlier, I think that more people would be able to support it. Lastly, I would like to say something about discharge in respect of the European Development Fund. It is problematic that the European Development Fund remains outside the EU budget. It must be integrated into the normal budgetary control process."@en1
