lpv:translated text	"The waiver of parliamentary immunity of the Greek Communist Party MEP Georgios Toussas, at the request of the Piraeus Public Prosecutor’s Office because, as a member of the management board of the Merchant Seamen’s Fund and representative of seafarers, he – together with the other members of the management board – allegedly voted unanimously on 27 March 2003 to issue a certificate of no debt to Mare Naftiliaki, which had won the auction for the and had debts to the Merchant Seaman’s Fund, is a distortion of the truth and an attempt to exonerate the real parties responsible for the bankruptcy of the Merchant Seamen’s Fund and the workers’ insurance funds; namely, shipowners, the long-standing policy of the PASOK and New Democracy governments and the EU. The request by the Piraeus Public Prosecutor’s Office for waiver of immunity is bereft of any legal or moral basis, based on the facts and the clear position of the management board of the Merchant Seamen’s Fund. The minutes of the relevant meetings of the management board of the Merchant Seamen’s Fund prove that Georgios Toussas, as the representative of the Hellenic Association of Merchant Fleet Engineers expressing the positions of the class-based seafarers’ movement, not only did not agree at the Merchant Seamen’s Fund board meeting to grant a certificate of no debt; on the contrary, he sought full security and payment of insurance contributions to the fund. The Greek Communist Party MEP has already been tried – on 16 October 2007, together with other trade unionists – by the Piraeus Lower Criminal Court, for strike action by the class-based seafarers’ associations and he was acquitted when the flimsy bill of indictment collapsed."@en1
