Il-Parlament Ewropew ghandu jistaqsi wkoll ghaliex Is-SINDKI li huma wkoll politici, almenu hekk jahsbu li huma, li kontra taghhom hemm allegazzjonijiet ta frodi mill-OLAF, baqghu f'posthom u la l-Gvern u lanqas il-Kummissjoni ma mponew rizenja. Mela r-regolamenti tal-OLAF u tal-Kummissjoni mhux ghal kulhaded xorta japplikaw!!? Jew ghaliex hemm Sindki nvoluti miz-zewg Partiti!! FEJNHOM L-AD?

Is the Maltese lady,a member of OLAF, who was appointed by the government t, estify on oath that she never contacted directly or indirectly the Prim Minister on this Dalli affair when the investigation was being carried out? Could the Maltese people be informed on how she was appointed and her functions? Had the PrimeMinister ever gave her some directions not necessarily on this matter?

Here's an interesting news item for those who were lambasting the PES (socialists) for expressing doubts about the matter. Barroso is eager for the whole thing to be forgotten as quickly as possible, but let's not forget that the commission is an unelected body and often acts as if it is answerable to nobody. The EP must not let this matter fizzle away until all questions are answered.

It's sounds more like a a fine plot to the rid of John Dalli the more time passes, in the end the name of John Dalli will be cleared and someone has to be responsible for this hasty and vendicative decision. Malta was stagnant in the whole affair.

On the contrary we are now going all "gay" to make sure that Tonio Borg takes his place.

The Franchet/Byk case as well as remarks by Maltese nationals who had "doses" of OLAF before John Dalli cast no good light on OLAF's attitudes and procedures. Yesterday Timmerman had after passing on the Dalli Report before the supervisory board had reviewed it. Today it is 'personal reasons'. With Dalli looking immune to 'golden handshakes', things do not look too good for Kessler et al.

Maybe the maltese lawyer of the OLAF may give us the reply.

Could it be something smelly going on??, European's especially Maltese citizens need to be fully informed about this case. Thank you.

This is how serious and professional organisations work, and this was the reason we voted for our beautiful Island Country to join the EU.

Investigative journalism at work. Local journalists take note, and appreciate how one's loyalty is to the public being told the truth, rather than what the journalist's ulterior aims may be.

The subject is a hot potato, but the main aim is: The Truth

Hmmm… so now it seems that the three major EP groups, EPP, Socialists and Greens are all expressing their doubts about Dalli’s forced resignation, and now, that of Timmermans as chairman of the OLAF Supervisory Board.
What is EP president Martin Shultz waiting for?

Mr Dalli in a recent interview said that Mr Barroso never supported his directive on tobacco - should Mr Barroso be investigated also???

It all seems that Mr Dalli was doing such a good job for all us Europeans, obviously without any fear, that unusual things have happened and many more will follow
