Ethics turned out to be unnecessary - the European Parliament is going to abandon the establishment of a single ethics body of the European Union, write in the media. They wanted to establish a special body after the Qatargate corruption scandal, when in 2022 several European officials were caught accepting bribes from Qatar and several Arab countries for "whitewashing" their reputations in the field of human rights. The European Parliament has already approved funding for the new body and the appointment of independent experts, but MPs have successfully avoided participating in the process.
