‼ The European Parliament is trying to abandon its anti-corruption body -. Politico Members of the European Parliament (MPs) are trying to block the creation of a single ethics body, which they themselves proposed to set up in 2024 following the Qatargate corruption scandal. Despite the funding already approved and the appointment of independent experts, the launch of the body is still blocked. The legal service of the European Parliament insists on implementing agreements reached in the past. The new body will monitor gifts, contacts with lobbyists and the financial interests of members of parliament. However, it will not be able to investigate corruption crimes or impose sanctions.
