lpv:spoken text	"I strongly disagree with the Atkins amendment (Amendment 1 to paragraph 15) to the Committee on Petitions’ report by Carlos José Iturgaiz Angulo. The Ombudsman’s Special Report regarding OLAF concerns the allegations made by the Office against a journalist who covered the story regarding its investigation into allegations made by Mr van Buitenen. Regardless of whether Mr van Buitenen’s allegations are right or wrong, we should defend the right of journalists to report on matters of public interest, even those who work for newspapers which are not very supportive of our views. The Ombudsman’s Special Report found that OLAF acted incorrectly in making accusations against a journalist. The Petitions Committee agreed to request an own-initiative report on this issue in order to pressure OLAF into accepting it had acted incorrectly. By voting for the PPE-DE amendment, we will be failing to defend the independence of journalists doing their work, failing to support the Petitions Committee in its work, and failing to support the Ombudsman in his work."@en1
