lpv:translated text	". The fight against the fraud that damages the Community’s financial interests should, for obvious reasons, be one of the European Commission’s main priorities for action. The Union for a Europe of Nations Group can only be delighted at the good results achieved by OLAF during 2000 and, moreover, hopes that such actions can bear even more fruit in the coming years. The citizens of Europe, the Member States themselves and, of course, all the Members of the European Parliament, it is fair to assume, are demanding this. The UEN Group and the Italian delegation, in particular, however, finds it impossible to vote in favour of the Bösch resolution, although it obviously agrees with that part of its content that shows the political will to fight fraud more effectively. In particular, we very strongly oppose the inclusion in the resolution of Paragraphs 32 and 35, which constitute unacceptable interference in the domestic affairs of one of the Member States. Indeed, ‘points to recent changes in the law in Italy’ – Paragraph 32 – and ‘calls on the Italian government to stop blocking leave of absence for Italian public prosecutors to take up executive functions with OLAF’ – Paragraph 35 – are in both form and substance unacceptable criticisms of the exercise of sovereign powers by a Member State, performed in full compliance with all democratic rules. We therefore strongly deplore the inclusion of the two paragraphs in the resolution, for that sets a dangerous precedent in the relations between the European Parliament and the Member States; these relations must always be characterised by mutual respect for the other’s positions, even when the positions differ."@en1
