"Following a complaint by Hans-Peter Martin MEP, the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office in Austria intends to carry out a preliminary investigation against Martin Ehrenhauser, MEP. There is a suspicion that Martin Ehrenhauser unlawfully published some of Hans-Peter Martin’s private emails. The Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office also wishes to investigate allegations that Martin Ehrenhauser made a recording of a conversation without the knowledge of the persons involved. The immunity of Martin Ehrenhauser must be waived by the European Parliament if the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office is to proceed to investigate the allegations against him. I voted in favour of waiving Martin Ehrenhauser’s parliamentary immunity for I believe that all Members of Parliament must be persons of the utmost integrity. This obligation towards the electorate is incumbent on each and every one of us. A thorough investigation of the matter is the only way to reassure voters that everything is legal and above board. If Mr Ehrenhauser is innocent, this, too, must be established by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, just as if he were guilty. This is imperative in a rule-of-law system and must also apply to the politicians in whom the public places its trust."@en1
