lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I will try to answer and to sum up the debate. I would like to start by saying that the work has changed and we must follow these changes. Transparency and proper management of conflicts of interest has become vital for both governments and our citizens. Secondly, conflicts of interest – I repeat what I said this morning – must be a criterion in the discharge procedure for all the EU institutions. I repeat that in particular for our Socialist colleagues. The discharge procedure is the place to evaluate conflicts of interest because, if they are not correctly managed, conflicts of interest can distort the allocation of public resources and human resources policies, and can lead to public funds being wasted. So, yes, this is the place to discuss it. Once again, we took this opportunity to call on the Council, the Commission and the Member States to revise the way they appoint members of the management boards of the agencies, as well as the directors. I am glad to hear from Commissioner Šemeta today that this will be taken into account and the policy revised. This will only help the agencies. I believe that the postponement will also help the agencies to finish the clearing, or at least to have in place, in an irreversible way, a structured policy against conflicts of interest. I will not respond to the personal criticism from the Socialists. I would just like to say that I have not heard any concrete argument as to why discharge for the three agencies should not be postponed. Once again, this is nothing to do with the work of the agencies. This is not going against the agencies. Rather, it is to help the agencies, and also to increase people’s trust in the work of the agencies and of Parliament, to see that we take it seriously when we carry out the discharge. We do not put stamps on some other reports. Finally, I am grateful to all of you for this debate and for the discussion we have had, including those who criticised my proposals. I am very glad that the conflict of interest issue was the subject of such a large debate. I am sure that this will continue."@en1
