Pat Cox
Ceist:7 Mr. Cox asked the Minister for Finance in relation to paragraph 2.57 of the 1992 report of the European Court of Auditors regarding manual alterations by customs officials of export forms, that in a post-audit letter the Court of Auditors indicated that such alterations were found to be quite common; that the Irish authorities did not contest the accuracy of the court's findings and hence the court acted in good faith in paragraph 2.57; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
