"Mr President, the Fava report, contrary to what many people expected, has already had a catalyst effect, even before it has been voted on, of as yet unknown and unpredictable dimensions.
Walls and blindfolds are gradually falling away, and the truth is flourishing. The European Parliament’s Temporary Committee, of which many people were initially critical, has far exceeded established expectations. Amongst other things, and thanks to the involvement of many other players interested in getting to the bottom of the issue, the work this year has had an effect similar to popping the cork of a champagne bottle which had been shaken for a long time.
That would certainly have been a good and very pleasant metaphor, were it not for the fact that that bottle does not contain good champagne, but rather a dangerous combination of negligence, irresponsibility, criminal complicity and above all violations of the values and principles on which we claim the European Union to be based.
The work cannot therefore stop now. On the contrary, we now have to focus all our efforts on getting to the bottom of it, no matter what. This must be done on at least three levels: by establishing committees of enquiry in the Parliaments of the States cited, which includes my country, Spain, assisting and encouraging the work of public prosecutors, and finally, on the part of the European Parliament, by monitoring how things develop as part of the permanent agenda of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, as well as the Human Rights Sub-Committee."@en1
