<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"It has been reported to my office that an EU citizen was charged with fraud in relation to the EUR9billion CF programme. The high-profile fraud charge involved OLAF's local partners, namely the gardai. No monies were ever missing or in accounts other than was proper. His reputation and income-earning ability were destroyed. The citizen was accused of the infringement of grant criteria in drawing down grant monies in 1999. During investigations it has been confirmed that the legal basis for the fraud charge was EU Regulation (EC) No2064/97, which was introduced after the grant was drawn down but backdated to 1994. At the time of investigation neither the individual nor OLAF's local partners were informed of that critical fact.  1.Can the Commission confirm that it introduced EU Regulation (EC) No2064/97 on 14November 1997 with the requirement that it applies proportionately retrospective to 1994? That regulation detailed a specific audit procedure that was to be followed and confirmed.  2.Can the Commission confirm that at the Berlin meeting of EU financial controllers of 10October 2000 it was confirmed that the ‘retroactive’ aspect of EU Regulation (EC) No2064/97 was ‘rescinded’?  3.Can the Commission condone the removal of an EU citizen's good name as a direct consequence of the enforced retrospective application of EU legislation?"
