Big words, small deeds: in the SP’s view, that’s how the European Commission’s anti-corruption policies can be summed up. This was the conclusion drawn at the end of a meeting in the European Parliament at which a number of social organisations concerned with anti-corruption policies did not mince their words when it came to criticising the Commission. The SP Euro-MP expressed complete agreement with the organisations, saying that ‘despite a great deal of urging from the European Parliament and others we’re still waiting for the European Commission’s first anti-corruption report. This report won’t only cover corruption in the member states, but also corruption within EU institutions.’
