Thank you all for being here.
I feel I have to say that the accusations—because that is how I see them—that you have made regarding the staff and management bring me right back to the position I took when this dispute first arose—and that is that there must be an inquiry into the situation at Rights and Democracy and a report done by someone familiar with the international aid and NGO communities, who could help to put it back on track, remembering that it is an independent organization—an institution of Parliament yes—but still an independent organization operating at arm's length from the government.
The statements I have read and the material I have seen confirm my conviction that an inquiry is needed. Let me put the question to you: Do you not think there should be an inquiry? Everything that the four of you have said leads to that.
My question is addressed to Mr. Braun.
