lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Members of the Bonino List firmly support the Bösch report and, since I do not suffer from the ideological prejudices which often characterise the behaviour of certain elements of the Socialist Group towards us, I would like to thank the Group for the amendments which it has tabled. They are extremely clear, concise, pragmatic amendments which represent genuine reform, that is, the only reform worthy of the name which the European institutions ought to adopt on the recruitment procedure. However, between the fine words and noble principles expressed by the European Ombudsman and practice, things are not always so cut and dried. When I tabled two questions to the Commission on the management and organisation of the last internal competition, I received clear, detailed replies. These replies revealed a clear case of maladministration, if not abuse of authority, by the Director-General for Personnel and Administration, and the second reply implicated Commissioner Kinnock. I notified the Ombudsman of this, who, in his reply, said that he had decided not to open an inquiry because the competition was already far advanced. Unfortunately, I did not – and still do not – possess those paranormal capacities which make it possible to predict the future. Not only that: Article 2(4) of the European Parliament Decision on the Regulations and the General Conditions governing the performance of the Ombudsman's duties stipulates that the Ombudsman must be notified within two years of the date on which the petitioner becomes aware of the grounds for the accusation. Insofar as my duty and my political responsibilities are concerned, the Ombudsman's decision is a routine defence of the Commission. This is not the mandate that Parliament conferred upon Mr Söderman."@en1
