Madam President, like all his colleagues, the Commissioner speaks of simplification, and these complicated European procedures are a major point of contention. Could he perhaps give me a couple of specific examples of what is being newly simplified and what is now going to improve? Secondly, are records being kept of the effective costs of managing the programmes and of the amount of funds from these programmes that will directly benefit the European public in future?
