Prodi Vows Not to Fire EU Officials Over Fraud Scandal | |
2003-09-25 | |
Followup to yesterday’s post Embattled European Commission President Romano Prodi says he will not fire senior members of his team over a fraud scandal that has shaken a key EU Agency. After all, if TotalFinaElf’s actions are OK, what’s wrong with a little graft? Mr. Prodi told senior members of the European Parliament that that there was no reason to ask any commissioner to take political responsibility and resign over the allegations.
uh huh | |

#5 Prodi proposed to enter CEOs' homes w/o a warrant after Enron because of course the CEOs would keep incriminating evidence at their homes. Ok, Romano, I'm giving it to my secretary to keep. How far down are you willing to go to violate the sancitity of a home w/o a warrant? |

#4 Embattled European Commission President Romano Prodi says he will not fire senior members of his team over a fraud scandal that has shaken a key EU Agency. [...] He says he stands by his pledge of "zero tolerance for fraud". Fair enough. Now the questions are: what happens if the allegations can be proven? Will he fire them then? |

#2 Good to see those hard earned tax Euros put to good use! I'm sure all of those lavish dinners they held were in honor of all of those of the "worker class". I can just hear the first toast of every dinner. "God Bless the unwashed Euro masses. May they never stop providing these lovely dinners." |

#1 Hey, folks! The EU is changing it's name. It's now: Scam Artistes Sans Frontieres. Coming soon to a continental wallet near you. Good luck, my Euro friends. |
