lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, since submitting that request to you I now speak not just on behalf of the 36 Members but on behalf of my group. I wish to draw the House's attention to reports which have appeared in the Belgian, German and UK newspapers this weekend which relate to quite serious allegations that the European Parliament and also Members of the Commission may have been misled in relation to elements of the evidence in the Andreasen affair. This arises in the context of a report apparently commissioned by Commissioner Kinnock prior to suspending the Commission accountant. Both the press and Commission sources have extensively quoted from this report. It is essential that the report is published in full forthwith so that the House has the full facts concerning this matter. It is important not just in the context of the whole Andreasen affair but also in the context of the budget discharge procedure which is to be undertaken during the next few weeks. The Commission cannot choose to engage in selective briefing of extracts from Commission papers and then claim general confidentiality in relation to those same documents in the context of the framework agreement. For that reason, I propose to the House that tomorrow at 5 p.m., when the Commission attends, the Commission should explain its position in relation to this document, which is allegedly a report from the head of internal audit making these serious allegations. That document should be published and this House should be in a position to form a view in relation to it. I therefore ask for the House's agreement to my proposal that the Commission is requested to come to this House at 5 p.m. tomorrow in order to deal with these serious allegations."@en1
