"I voted for this report, stressing the need for the Commission to inform Parliament on which other indicators, sources or methods, apart from the information provided by whistle-blowers or informants, it can use in order to determine in which areas of EU funding or EU revenues there are increased levels of fraud. The Commission must assess whether the investigated cases of fraud resulting from whistle-blowers or informants correspond to the areas where it is estimated that there is a possibility of a high level of fraud, based on independent criteria or indicators. If not, I call on the Commission to assess other methods of initiating investigations in areas where suspected fraud is concealed under the ‘laws of criminal silence’, which prevent information leaking through whistle-blowers or informants. I believe that Member States are failing to provide data in a timely manner, or that the data they do provide is inaccurate and does not stand up to comparison, thus making it impossible to evaluate objectively the true scale of fraud in the Member States. The European Parliament, the Commission and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) are unable to perform their functions regarding assessment of the situation and the submission of further proposals."@en1
