". The report by Mr Heaton-Harris confuses two issues. In the name of wage moderation, it condemns granting extraordinary bonuses to some ECB employees, which is unacceptable. On the other hand, the rapporteur criticises the ECB for preventing OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office, from carrying out its work. We learn therefore that “the European Central Bank has stated that it will not allow the European Anti-Fraud Office, OLAF, to conduct internal investigations” and that “in its first report to Parliament, Council and Commission, the supervisory committee of OLAF called for legal proceedings to be brought against Community bodies that have not implemented Regulation 1073/99, before the end of 1999” and that “the Commission initiated legal proceedings at the European Court of Justice against the decision of 7 October 1999 of the European Central Bank regarding the non-application of Parliament and Council Regulation 1073/99”. We believe that this whole issue is extremely important and we support the paragraph of the report which “regrets clear incompatibility between the public commitment assumed by the ECB in its 1999 annual report to establish close cooperation with OLAF and the decision by the ECB itself to prevent OLAF from carrying over internal investigations, pending the ruling by the European Court of Justice”. We will vote in support of the report by Mr Heaton-Harris for this reason."@en1
