Description
EU Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly says the European Parliament's reform package needs 'real substance', not just a rushing through of 'general rules' if it is to win the confidence of citizens.
The parliament has been the focus of intense scrutiny since a scandal erupted a month ago with the arrest of one of Metsola's 14 vice-presidents after Belgian police raided homes and offices of several MEPs, former MEPs, parliamentary aides and heads of NGOs that dealt with lawmakers. Belgian prosecutors are investigating alleged graft in the European Parliament benefitting Qatar and Morocco. The police raids turned up 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million) in cash.
