translate English to French: However, we can already see growing signs that the Court lacks the material resources to achieve the objectives which Parliament itself has laid down. And the requirement under the Maastricht Treaty to prepare a statement of assurance as to the reliability of the accounts will contribute still more to putting pressure on certain material resources which are already very tight.
Cela, parce que relativement aux nouvelles dispositions du traité de Maastricht, les compétences du Parlement ne sont plus celles de simple ratification des actes comptables de la Commission, celles d'une sorte de fabrique de timbres; elles se fondent, au contraire, sur la déclaration de fiabilité de la Cour des comptes et acquièrent donc une teneur plus significative, plus substantielle.
