"Mr President, I am afraid the best has not been saved for last, as the saying goes, for I have to inform Mr Schultz – this being the world cup season – that a thundering own-goal has been scored. In other words, he asked a question on the issue of Mr Dell’Utri’s immunity and then answered it himself. I remember the vote held on the matter in the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market. The committee adopted the decision to request further information from the Spanish judiciary on the case. Now, then, it is not the European Parliament or the Committee on Legal Affairs which is holding back but the Spanish judiciary, which, in all probability, no longer knowing which way to turn, not knowing how exactly to respond to the European Parliament’s request, is playing for time. There may, however, be another reason: if we consider that the investigation was very thorough, it would appear that the magistrate dealing with the case has realised that he has very little or no evidence with which to proceed. What we have here, then, are delaying tactics, a delaying strategy, in which the Spanish judiciary is continuing to pad out an indefinite investigation with the intention of keeping the matter open and never resolving it."@en1
