Corruption in the E.U - apparently

[Colonelboom]

The extent of corruption in Europe is "breathtaking" and it costs the EU economy at least 120bn euros (£99bn) annually, the European Commission says.

EU Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem has presented a full report on the problem.


She said the true cost of corruption was "probably much higher" than 120bn.


Three-quarters of Europeans surveyed for the Commission study said that corruption was widespread, and more than half said the level had increased.

To be fair, it is hardly surprising, and there are certain MEPs within this country that MUST be corrupt, the only way the couldn't be corrupt, would mean that they are purely blind stupid idiots!
In saying that, the same must be said for a whole host of MEPs throughout Brussels and Europe as a whole.

Clive Bates has not mentioned corruption per se, but instead refers to the "scientific, legal and procedural defects" of the TPD in his latest blog post ...
