"Mr President, many thanks to the Commissioner for the contribution of the Commission as well.
I am very sorry, Commissioner, that you do not like Recital 16, but economic matters are exceptional – we keep being told that – and the ECB is a major user of these statistics which are fundamental to monetary operations. So we considered that, in this case, we did support putting the ECB’s right to consultation as far as delegated acts. They have that right with regard to all Union acts and, therefore, we consider this to be an extension of that.
You, Commissioner, and also Vicky Ford and Sven Giegold, have mentioned the public liabilities point, so I will come back on that briefly, as well as insisting on mandatory transmission. We did insert more safeguards into the text, including tasking the Commission with reporting back to us on existing information on public private partnerships and other implicit liabilities, which were at the heart of the matter, as you have heard. We also charged the Commission with producing another report assessing whether we need to do even more in this area. We will be watching this closely and I thank you for the update showing that this work is already in hand.
As you also said earlier, we can expect ESA 2010 to last us a fair time – maybe 15 years – and Parliament must stay active in the meantime in promoting increased transparency as regards accounts for the public sector. We are already working on the next statistics file, which is on the functioning of the statistical framework and independence of statistical institutes – Regulation 223 as it is known in the jargon.
Unfortunately, the feedback I have received on that so far is that Member States are again reluctant to sign up or even discuss increased transparency: for example, by publishing on their websites whether there is a commitment on confidence in statistics established in their Member State. I find that very worrying indeed.
However, turning back to ESA 2010, I wish to again thank colleagues and the Commission and recommend my report to this House, with the support of my committee, for a first reading agreement."@en1
