Would the Minister not agree that it is a very serious situation where we have the Government of a member country — which is currently holding the Presidency of the European Community — stating that it does not respect or accept, in an important matter, the conclusions of the duly established organ of the Community for the interpretation of the propriety of the expenditure of particular moneys? Would the Minister agree that that is a very serious constitutional situation where a member state simply states that it does not accept the decision of the duly established body whose responsibility it is to make this decision? May I ask the Minister, in view of the seriousness of this conflict which has now been disclosed, what measures, if any, he proposes to either have the Court of Auditors removed, on the basis that he believes they are not competent to make these decisions, or alternatively, to reach an agreement with the Court of Auditors whereby he accepts their interpretation which is their, and not his, statutory responsibility to make?
