"I voted in favour of postponing the granting of discharge to the European Environment Agency and the European Medicines Agency since, as mentioned by Ms Macovei, the rapporteur, we have problems concerning conflicts of interest in both these agencies. I agree with the view expressed by Ms Macovei that this conflict has a negative effect on Europeans’ trust in institutions and causes concern among taxpayers. I believe that, particularly in the current difficult situation, the European Union cannot take such risks. For this same reason, the agencies should apply themselves with particular commitment to the issue of improving the effectiveness of their expenditure and the transparency of their financial management. I hope that by 30 June, all agencies will have succeeded in taking appropriate steps to address the comments made today."@en1
