<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"At the end of May, the Commission removed its new Accounting Officer from her post after not even five months in office. She was demoted because she had dared to criticise the changes to the Financial Regulation currently being made by the Commission and to point out that they would increase the risk of fraud and irregularities.  The Accounting Officer had also drawn attention to the shortcomings and risks associated with Sincom2, the Commission's present accounting system. Although the Commission has apparently been aware of these problems for some years now, no start on any changes thereto has been made.    With regard to Sincom2, can the Commission confirm that:      1.  After migration to this system, information was lost with the result that, in the research sector, for example, it is, in many cases, no longer possible to find out exactly how much the Commission disbursed on particular projects?      2.  The system is so insecure that data from financial years in respect of which the accounts have already been closed can be manipulated at a later date, for example in order to cover up mistakes and inconsistencies?      3.  The Commissioner with special responsibility for the budget has deliberately delayed an audit of the accounting system by the Commission's Internal Audit Service?    Can the Commission state whether the Director-General responsible for the budget has correctly described the problems and risks associated with Sincom2 in the annual Statement of Assurance for his Directorate-General and, if this is the case, provide me with a copy of the passages concerned?"
