A8-0188/2016 - Ingeborg Gräßle

n writing. - I have supported the particular proposal as it is aiming to strengthen the independence of the OLAF Supervisory Committee’s Secretariat, thus providing for a more effective functioning of the Supervisory Committee. In the past the European Parliament called several times on the Commission to take measures to reinforce the independent functioning of the OLAF Supervisory Committee’s secretariat, for example in its report on the discharge procedure for 2013 or in its resolution on the OLAF Supervisory Committee’s annual report 2014, and finally this seems to be a step to the right direction.
