lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome this opportunity to register my contempt for a decision taken by a high-level group – which I presume is the Commission – to overrule the Committee on Budgetary Control and reappoint Mr Franz-Hermann Brüner as Director-General of OLAF. Mr Brüner is an immensely controversial figure and his judgement has been brought into question on many occasions. In his first term he supported witch hunts against journalists such as Hans-Martin Tillack who exposed frauds. He has also been criticised by politicians and his supervisory board, and I do not believe he has the confidence of this Parliament, the press or the public. This also demonstrates the utter pointlessness of this Parliament and its committee system. The candidates for the post gave presentations before the Committee on Budgetary Control. We questioned them and ultimately voted for a better candidate from Sweden. Now we find that the whole time-consuming process was a meaningless charade."@en1
