Paragraph 19 a (new)
19a. Observes that the former Financial Controller/Internal Auditor of the CoR, who blew the whistle in respect of widespread fraud and irregularities at the CoR in 2003, was invalided out by the CoR on 1 July 2007 and by letter dated 7 January 2009, the Commission has officially informed the former Financial Controller that it had decided under article 73 of the Staff Regulations that the illness which led to his being invalided out against his will was 'occupational' (work- related) and that there was a "direct and certain causal relationship with his professional activities at the CoR". In other words, he fell ill as a direct result of the CoR hierarchy’s 'acts of intimidation' and the 'individual…(and)…. institutional harassment' which OLAF so severely condemned in its report of 8 October 2003 on its investigations into the CoR;

Paragraph 19 b (new)
19b. Deplores the fact that the CoR has failed completely in all its statutory obligations to protect its former Financial Controller and that the CoR has chosen to simply ignore the demands made by Parliament in its Resolution of 29 January 2004 that its Financial Controller "should not suffer any adverse consequences as a result" of reporting the fraud and irregularities at the CoR and that its President "should ensure respect throughout the institution for the office and the person of the Internal Auditor" and therefore will only be in a position to grant discharge to the CoR's Secretary-General after the Committee has fully complied with these latest developments in line with the demands which Parliament made in its abovementioned Resolution;
