lpv:translated text	"The Santer Commission was forced to resign following suspicions of fraud which I will not go into again. During the hearings of the present Commissioners, all of them, led by Mr Prodi, promised to reform their departments and to establish a genuine European Anti-Fraud Office which would be independent and would have the necessary resources to carry out its tasks to the best of its ability. OLAF is now a reality but we must keep going along this excellent path. We still have to define certain operating procedures and to guarantee the full independence of the Office. The report presented by Mr Bösch clearly highlights the problems which remain and ways of solving them. So we insist that the OLAF reports are sent to the competent committee of the European Parliament. More importantly, however, the report launches an urgent appeal for the establishment of a genuine European Public Prosecutor’s Office charged with scrutinising every case of fraud perpetrated against the financial interests of the European Communities. This is an essential element in the necessary fight against fraud which, together with the Commission, we must see through to a successful conclusion in the shortest possible time. The credibility and the image of the European Union are at stake. Finally, in his explanatory statement, Mr Bösch floated the idea of inviting the future Belgian Presidency to do everything in its power to ensure that serious progress is made in the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor’s Office. I fully subscribe to this idea. The report by Mr Bösch is ambitious, resolute and realistic. I therefore voted for this report in the fervent hope that the Belgian Presidency might set the European Union on the path chosen by the European Parliament."@en1
