European Parliament
President.
Question No. 36 by Paul van Buitenen 
Subject: Ignoring of Parliament's call relating to the advertising of the post of Director of OLAF
Does the Commission think that paragraph 50 of Parliament's report
), in which it notes that ‘the current Director’s appointment will come to an end in March 2005; [Parliament] calls on the Commission to advertise the post of Director in the Official Journal in spring 2004, so that Parliament’s relevant committee can hear the suitable candidates in autumn 2004 on the basis of a proposal from the Supervisory Committee’ has been ignored? If not, why not? If so, why?
For reasons of transparency, can the Commission indicate in detail the steps and decisions taken since the adoption of the report regarding the appointment of the successor to Mr Brüner?
Does the Commission plan to advertise the post of Director of OLAF?
