"Madam President, our delegation is still formally reserving its position on the European Public Prosecutor’s office because we have not yet had the chance to scrutinise the details of the drafts in Council, as was said earlier. In principle, however, the arguments in favour are compelling as long as proper safeguards on the issues of independence of prosecutors and defendants’ rights are in place.
Hundreds of millions, if not billions, of euros are lost each year due to fraud against the European Union funds. In the UK, I am sorry to say, in contrast to things you have heard earlier, we do not take this issue seriously enough. In fact, if you compare it, for example, 38 issues were referred by the German government to the European Fraud Office in 2013 compared to only 4 by the UK.
It is absolutely unacceptable that we do not have proper accounting lines within our indicators for statistics on EU fraud in the UK. The idea that the UK is a good example in this matter is completely untrue."@en1
