"Mr President, Commissioner, honourable Members, here at the end of this debate, I would like to say that it has been stimulating, interesting and important to listen to the many contributions from the Members of this House. I hope that our two institutions can soon enter into a lasting agreement on an updated discharge procedure. It is high time that we found a solution together.
As I mentioned in my introductory speech, as long ago as March 2011, the Council tabled a proposal for a memorandum of understanding for cooperation between Parliament and the Council during the annual discharge procedure. This memorandum contains specific proposals for how we can exchange the necessary information and documents in a way that respects the respective roles of our institutions in the procedure. I would therefore like to make it clear today that the Council’s proposal is not an ultimatum. It is clear that we must get the negotiations under way between our institutions in order to reach an agreement, and I therefore hope that Parliament will soon be able to establish a negotiating delegation so that we can get started on the work. We all need to be aware of our responsibility and play our part in finding a solution. We owe this to European taxpayers in particular, who are entitled to see us work together to find an effective and lasting way to keep our institutions’ expenditure under control.
It is not the time for fighting between institutions; instead, it is time for cooperating and for showing our citizens that we can enter into compromises and deliver results. I therefore hope that very soon, we will be able to sit together around the negotiating table."@en1
