I 2002, da jeg var chefrevisor i Kommissionen, påpegede den daværende generaldirektør for budget i et brev til Kommissionens daværende interne revisor, at dechargeproceduren var et interinstitutionelt spil og intet andet.
Back in 2002, when I was Chief Accountant of the European Commission, the then Director-General for Budgets stated, in a letter to the then internal auditor of the Commission, that the discharge procedure was an interinstitutional game and nothing more.
