From the EU Observer

โ€œThe Eurostat fraud scandal, which has shed doubts over whether the present Commission took the necessary steps against alleged corruption and fraud, appears not to be an isolated case as investigations have spread to other departments.โ€

โ€œPresident Romano Prodi, whose Commission had pledged โ€˜zero-toleranceโ€™ on fraud and mismanagement when they took office in 1999, will appear before a meeting of the political group leaders on 25 September in Strasbourg, where he will personally answer questions over this affair.โ€

Ha ha ha.
