"Madam President, of course it is very important that the European Parliament has oversight of our budgets and see that public money is properly spent. Transparency and performance-based budgets are essential. One area that was mentioned was in relation to pilot projects, and I think this is an area we should really focus on, especially as regards our commitments in COP21 and Mr Juncker’s desire that Europe be world-leading in terms of renewables. So innovation and pilot projects in that area are vital.
I would also like to mention briefly another point which seems to have gone off the agenda, and that is own resources. It was very much part of our discussions in the last mandate, but it seems to have gone off the agenda in this mandate. As we all know, it is most unlikely that Member States are going to increase their contributions to the European Union, and the demands are going up all the time. We should look at own resources as a means of funding."@en1
