Hernández Mollar (PPE-DE), chairman of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs. – (ES) Mr President, I would like to speak on behalf of the committee I chair. Mr Barón has made a statement, an accusation which I believe to be particularly serious. He has said that documents have disappeared in my committee. I would like to say to the Presidency that, if that accusation is false, it is extremely serious since it would seriously harm the prestige and honour of the committee I chair.

(Applause)

Secondly, Mr President, I would like an explanation of how Mr Barón has received that information, because I was not aware until today that this has happened, and that would also seriously harm the prestige of the services of my committee.

I believe that this, Mr President, requires immediate clarification and, in any event, I would ask for the support of the Presidency.

(Applause)
