lpv:translated text	". There are aspects of the Eurostat affair – nepotism, conflicts of interest, secret accounts – that are redolent of the situation that led to the resignation of the previous Commission. Fraud and irregularities exceeded EUR 6 million, which in some cases is probably only the tip of the iceberg. This affair has also shed light on serious problems and irregularities in working methods and internal monitoring, on the part of both the Commission and OLAF, such as the lack of effective enforcement of existing rules. The Commissioners directly involved must not be allowed to get away scot-free. It is appalling that the Commissioner responsible for Eurostat has not accepted political responsibility and that the Commission President has not asked him to resign. This fresh case shows, among other things, how the outsourcing of services by the Commission readily lends itself to such situations. The very least we can hope for, once again, is that the Commission learns its lessons and tells us how it proposes to avoid a repeat of this type of problem in the future."@en1
