lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Bösch's report deals clearly and relevantly with the problems bound up with protecting the EU’s financial interests and combating fraud. Fraud is a scourge as far as the EU is concerned. I do not know how large a percentage of the Member States’ budgets disappears due to fraud and irregularities. In my own country, it is close on zero per cent, and I think that what we have noted in recent years in the EU’s accounts reflects the fact that common funds are not handled so carefully and meticulously as money which the States regard as their own. Mr Bösch's report goes a very long way towards representing the positions adopted by my group, most especially in its observations concerning the European Investment Bank and the European Central Bank. We have a problem in relation to appointing a European Public Prosecutor, whose office we would regard as an integral part of the federal EU we do not wish to see. We think that the problems highlighted can be solved at national level. We are quite clear about the fact that these provisions are aimed especially at the new Member States whose legal arrangements differ from those of the EU countries. We think, however, that this ought to be an incentive to engage in negotiations designed to promote cooperation between the legal systems. However, it is not, of course, by means of the present report that we are to decide this matter and, against that background, I should like to inform you that my group is voting in favour of Mr Bösch's report because we think that there are clear demands which Parliament is making here and with which the Commission must comply."@en1
