lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. I welcome all of the Court of Auditors’ special reports, which reveal the positive side of the Commission’s work as well as the problems the Commission faces when executing the EU budget and managing EU programmes. I welcome the conclusions and recommendations presented by the Court of Auditors in these reports and the calls for the Commission and the Member States to fully take these recommendations into account. As the member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats responsible for dealing with the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) issue in the Committee on Budgetary Control, I would like to draw particular attention to Special Report No 2/2011 of the Court of Auditors entitled ‘Follow-up of Special Report No 1/2005 concerning the management of the European Anti-Fraud Office’. Of particular concern are the observations by the Court of Auditors that average case duration at OLAF is over two years, which indicates that problems remain with OLAF’s management system and the allocation of tasks. A cooperation agreement was signed in 2008 between OLAF and Eurojust, which seeks to combat fraud more effectively, but given the number of cases passed by OLAF to Eurojust (OLAF sent information about five cases in 2008 and only one case in 2009), it is clear that the cooperation between these two offices is not working. I agree that it is essential to improve OLAF’s management structure and reduce the time taken to investigate cases, which would enable us to combat financial crime and fraud more effectively throughout the EU."@en1
