"For the first time since 2006, the annual report from the European Court of Auditors showed an increase in the proportion of errors made in the implementation of the EU budget – from 3.3% (in 2009) to 3.7%. This increase is extremely worrying and must not be allowed to recur.
It is the Commission that is ultimately responsible for the use of EU funds. Nevertheless, the Court of Auditors’ criticism is not directed at the Commission first and foremost, but at the Member States. For around 80% of the EU’s expenditure, management of the funds is shared between the Commission and the Member States, and it is the Member States that are responsible for the payments. It is also within these expenditure areas that the error percentage increased most during 2010. We therefore believe that the Commission should be granted discharge, and that the Member States should instead discuss within the Council measures to deal with these errors."@en1
