"Mr Mulder, whom I wish to address first of all, to praise you for your work, for the honesty with which you have looked at the matters before you, I must congratulate you and yet at the same time say that I fail to understand why your political group, perhaps in line with what Mr Heaton-Harris said, decided to withdraw the issue of Eurostat from your report. The Eurostat issue is by no means over and done with and we clearly still have a great deal to see, learn and do about this matter. I feel sure that the next Parliament will see this through to the very end, because the matter does not only involve Eurostat – it has many other strands too, because many other Commission departments were involved. This Parliament, I feel certain, will ensure that the serious mistakes and anomalies detected in that institution will be corrected. It is something else altogether, however, to pursue an electoral agenda and, as Mr Heaton-Harris has reminded us: elections will take place in two months and, as a result, some people are attempting, when it is neither the time nor the place to do so, to indulge in demagogy in order to gain an advantage in the elections. We have no truck with this and we do not need to waste parliamentary time on nonsense of this kind."@en1
