"This report concerns the request for waiver of the immunity of our fellow Member, Ms Morvai, lodged by the Pest Central District Court, pursuant to Articles 8 and 9 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union. In accordance with Rule 6(2) of the Rules of Procedure, the request has been analysed by the Committee on Legal Affairs. Ms Morvai was heard by the committee, which requested further information and explanations from the Pest Central District Court before issuing its opinion. Ms Morvai is accused of public defamation because she made televised statements considered offensive to the good name of a member of the public, János Zombori. The Member acknowledges having made the statements ‘in her capacity as a women’s right activist’. Since the statements were made in 2005, long before she was elected to Parliament, which only happened in 2009, they cannot have taken place ‘in the performance of her duties as Member of the European Parliament’, so they are not covered by the Statute for Members. In view of this, and taking into account the committee’s recommendation to waive Ms Morvai’s parliamentary immunity, I voted for this report."@en1
