Derfor var det så meget desto mere uforståeligt for os alle, da ordføreren fra Budgetkontroludvalget af de mest utrolige årsager ikke ville meddele decharge til tre af de fire agenturer, især fordi agenturerne, selv om punkterne var begrundet, ikke selv var ansvarlige for disse punkter. Det drejede sig f.eks. om tjenestemandsvedtægten i forbindelse med midlertidig ansatte i institutionen, eller beliggenheden af det relevante agenturs hovedkvarter, eller endda den måde hvorpå nærhedsprincippet blev overholdt.
Therefore it was all the more incomprehensible to us all when the rapporteur in the Committee on Budgetary Control did not want to grant discharge for three of the four agencies, for the most incredible reasons - particularly as, even if they were valid, the agencies themselves were not responsible for those points, for example staff regulations relating to temporary staff of the institution, or the location of the head office of the relevant agency, or even the way the principle of subsidiarity was observed.
