"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Bösch, I should firstly like to congratulate you, as others have already done. Secondly, it is a pity that the Director of OLAF is not here today. I am sure this is for reasons beyond his control. I should nevertheless like to point out that, on the one hand, OLAF must pay very careful attention to this report and that, on the other, Parliament and our rapporteur must pay due respect to OLAF. Such respect is essential for a body of democratic control such as ours. I hope that OLAF has similar respect for its supervisory committee, given that under no circumstances must OLAF’s indispensable independence be confused with self-sufficiency, which would be extremely detrimental to the functioning of our institutions.
Turning to you, Commissioner, I should like to reiterate what we stated in point 28 of our report, namely that we await a Commission report by 31 October 2005, explaining fully what stage has been reached as regards the scandal of adulterated butter. Despite the fact that it was clear six years ago to all of those involved in the investigation that action had to be taken, none of the actual perpetrators, nor their accomplices, were brought to justice, and their activities continued undisturbed. I should therefore like to ask you, Commissioner, to declare to this House that you are ready to accede to our request by 31 October."@en1
