Daniel Hannan (ECR). – Madam President, why do we have all of this fraud in the EU institutions that we have just been hearing about? Is it that Brussels attracts particularly bad people? I do not think so. I mean, it attracts some bad people. Man is fallen and in every institution you will attract some people who give in to temptation, but the real problem is that there is no link between taxation, representation and expenditure. European institutions expect the bouquets when they write cheques but not the brickbats when they raise the taxes, because taxation is carried out by somebody else. That is a formula where, even with the best will in the world, you are bound to encourage a certain negligence or, as we have seen in some of the cases cited in this report, outright corruption. The solution, of course, would be to take the financial decisions more closely to the people that they affect, to devolve fiscal autonomy from an EU to a national or subnational level but, as we all know in this House, that ‘ain’t gonna happen’.
