lpv:spoken text	"According to the Treaties, the Parliament has a right of scrutiny of the legality and regularity of the operating expenditure of the institutions and agencies every year. The main goal of the discharge procedure is to ensure that public funds are used in the best possible way. This vote concerns the discharge reports related to one of the EU's decentralised agencies, the European Food Safety Authority. I voted against this report because, despite improvement of its policies on employing people with conflicts of interest, EFSA recently appointed the current director of Regulation, Science and Sustainability at the UK industry's trade federation (The Food and Drink Federation), as their Director of Communications. They have since refused to disclose this person's Declaration of Interests. Until EFSA regains some credibility on this matter, I did not believe it appropriate to grant discharge. Therefore I voted against."@en1
