Can't eat own dog food
The EU parliament needs to get its act together. I work for a large company in the EU and we follow all the laws regarding non-retribution, transparency and creating a culture where bribery is not acceptable. You even have access to an anonymous, independent whistleblower line if you suspect that your boss's boss is taking bribes. Non tolerance of corruption is mandated in EU directives and legislation.
Why can't the parliament eat their own dog food?
If the EU wants to have the respect of its citizens, then they need to be whiter than white. This kind of corruption only leads to justifiable contempt.
