to scotch

During the short time I have in which to speak, I should like to try to scotch some of the flourishing myths which exist with regard to the ozone issue.

Ich möchte in der kurzen Zeit, die mir zur Verfügung steht, mich bemühen, wenigstens einige Mythen, die sich um das Thema Ozon ranken, aus dem Wege zu räumen.

I am here in orde to scotch any rumours.

Ich bin hier in Orde, irgendwelche Gerüchte scotch.

I should, however, also like to scotch the rumours that could be heard after the President of the Commission had made his speech, namely that if Commission officials were suspected of fraud the Commission wanted to take control of the internal investigations away from OLAF.

Es sollte vielmehr geprüft werden, ob Aufgaben, die keinen näheren Bezug zur spezifischen Expertise von OLAF haben, in die sektoralen Generaldirektionen zurückverlagert werden sollten.
