Guy Quint report (A5 0327 2000)

No. But you can go in, Mr. Quint.

I slightly disagree with my colleague Mrs Guy Quint.

I don't like the way you say that, Quint.

My second idea concerns prevention, an issue mentioned by Mrs Guy Quint and Mrs Schierhuber.

I should like to thank Mrs Guy Quint for reminding the House how important it is.

Mr. Quint, will you excuse us? I have a confidential matter to discuss with Colonel Hudson.

Mrs Guy Quint, I would congratulate you on having managed to speak calmly and clearly amid this hullabaloo.

Then our clever Mr. Quint can report to Washington that the rebel spy ring has been smashed and its leader, you, executed.

To save time I therefore turn to the concluding part of the question put by Mr Harbour and Madam Guy Quint relating to budgetary matters.

Authors like Adam and Quint argue that Creole was formed by African slaves using the grammar of Western African languages and replacing the African lexicon with the Portuguese one.

Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to begin by thanking Mrs Guy Quint in particular for seeking consensus throughout the process of drawing up her report.

It is therefore astounding that the rapporteurs Mrs Guy Quint and Mr Pomés Ruiz completely pass over this and merely regard the reform process as a means of achieving European political integration.

Mrs Guy Quint, in your report you referred to many points in the new version of the Financial Regulation, but you also expressed concern that activity based budgeting might deprive Parliament of information.

Allow me to deal now with important points from the reports by Mrs Guy Quint and Mr Pomés Ruiz which relate directly to the budget process, namely the drafting of the budget and its implementation.

Incidentally, I am delighted to note, Mrs Guy Quint, that you are a specialist in this field who can be relied upon to debate the recast Financial Regulation in Parliament with competence and no doubt with passion too.

Report (A5 0327 2000) by Mrs Guy Quint, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on the White Paper on reforming the Commission (aspects concerning the Committee on Budgets) COM(00)0200 C5 044 2000 2000 2215(COS)

My colleague, Mrs Guy Quint, is going to cover all the detailed budgetary questions with her considerable expertise in that subject, but I would just like to mention two final elements of our questions, to set them in context.

Mr President, I am very grateful to both Mr Harbour and Madam Guy Quint for tabling this comprehensive question which permits me to make a full report to the House on progress with various aspects of the Commission's reform strategy.

We have just come from a budgetary negotiation with the Council, as Mrs Guy Quint is well aware, where the hardest thing has been to determine in a clearer and more precise way what the limits of budgetary power are for one party or another.

Codebase timeline Amaya was a direct descendant of the Grif WYSIWYG SGML editor created by Vincent Quint and Irène Vatton at INRIA in the early 1980s, and of the HTML editor Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA.

Perhaps some honourable Members will have received that full report and here I will concentrate on the most salient recent developments with the human resources policy elements of our reform strategy and I also refer, as requested by Madam Guy Quint, particularly to the budgetary issues.

We must develop an organisation within the Commission that is going to centre around giving every official clear objectives, giving them the right resources to deliver those objectives. That includes the all important financial resources, as both Ms Guy Quint and Mr Pomés Ruiz have emphasised, and empowering them to use those resources accordingly.

However, as Mrs Guy Quint mentioned, the House should take account of the fact as a table I am also circulating today demonstrates that recent proposals made by institutions other than the Commission would have the effect of significantly increasing the forecast rates of growth of expenditure on personnel and administration under Heading 5.

Madam President, I shall not waste your time explaining why I voted for the Guy Quint report, but I really must say that for the elderly and pensioners it is very important to know how European Union funds are spent, how in concrete terms they are used by the administrative offices of the Commission. This is because pensioners have had first hand experience throughout Europe of what bad administration means.

Mr President, I have taken the floor to inform the Members that, last night, responding during a debate on the oral questions tabled by Mr Harbour and Mrs Guy Quint, Mr Kinnock said and confirmed that all the Members of Parliament would receive the Commission' s written answers last night, and the Vice President of the Commission invoked this information in support of his answers to the Members present last night who did not know anything about this.
