lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, this debate should have taken place last year. The rapporteur cannot be blamed for this, as he drafted a sound report in the shortest possible time. When the Commission took office, it announced once again that it would apply itself fully to tackling fraud and irregularities in the EU Institutions, justifiably so, for there are billions of euros involved. The Commission continues to perform in a wholly unsatisfactory manner now that it has submitted this progress report to Parliament more than a year late. The fraudulent practices surrounding the Eurostat affair illustrated that OLAF should no longer, administratively speaking, fall within the Commission's remit. The bureau must be given as much independence as possible and be made accountable to Parliament. I firmly hold the Commissioner to the promise that she made a moment ago to present her proposal to Parliament within two months. Otherwise, her credibility will really torpedo."@en1
