"We consider it unacceptable that not all of the Member States’ annual summaries have been made available as part of the budgetary control process for the Commission’s 2010 budget. This is contrary to the current interinstitutional agreement and it will do nothing to promote an open and transparent EU or to increase confidence in the Union’s institutions among EU citizens. We had therefore originally intended to vote in favour of a postponement of the decision on discharge in respect of the Commission’s 2010 budget.
Shortly before the vote, however, Commissioner Šemeta made his promise that all of these annual summaries will now be made available. We welcome this news, but, at the same time, we would emphasise that this is a decision that ought to have come much earlier in the process. The promised publication has come far too late for us to be able to support the granting of discharge to the Commission. Given this situation, we are therefore choosing to abstain from the vote on this point."@en1
