lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to make clear my distaste for the complete farce that went on over the release of the OLAF report and the reports on Eurostat. As a member of the Committee on Budgetary Control, I was perfectly entitled to see those reports without being subjected to a ridiculous Stalinist rigmarole. It clearly demonstrates the Commission's contempt for this Parliament, for democracy and for the people that ultimately have to underwrite the Eurostat corruption, by which I mean the taxpayers of Europe. The report highlights the fundamentally inadequate procedures for combating fraud and more importantly how slow the Commission was to react to clear evidence of major problems within Eurostat. I am also deeply concerned about the snail's pace at which OLAF worked in investigating this whole sorry matter. The stench of graft is all around us and is getting stronger by the day."@en1
