SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President There are many things we have done already, but many things we still have to do. There are too many, let's say, ways that decisions are taken that could be done better. Too many informal groupings that are potentially more amenable to influence too many organisations whose funding for transparent for transparency of funding is not clear. We will clamp down on everything and we will make sure that I cannot say this will never happen again. This is criminal corruption, but I would make sure that everything is in place to make sure that Parliament is not for sale.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President The main message to the council as the Parliament is co-legislator will continue to push for more support to Ukraine, to push forward for the enlargement of the Schengen area and make sure that the relevant decisions are taken to allow for all citizens to pay their bills. Thank you very much.
