"I voted for the report on the protection of the European Union’s financial interests – Fight against fraud – annual report 2010. In 2010, the financial impact of irregularities in the area of European funds’ expenditure rose to EUR 1.8 billion, compared to EUR 1.4 billion in 2009. The financial impact on revenue is also greater: EUR 393 million, compared to EUR 357 million in 2009. According to the statistics for 2010, around 70% of all reports about irregularities related to the cohesion policy. We call on the Commission and Member States to design, implement and regularly evaluate uniform procurement systems to prevent fraud and corruption, so as to define and implement clear conditions for participation in public procurement. Systems need to be implemented to review public procurement decisions at national level in order to ensure transparency and accountability in public finances, and to adopt and implement risk management and internal control systems. We call on the Commission to provide reliable statistics about the scale of fraud and corruption, particularly relating to tax and customs evasion, and about organised crime activities involving the misuse of EU funds."@en1
