ANOTHER LOOTING SCANDAL:

Euro MPs accused the European Commission yesterday of trying to cover up a “vast enterprise of looting” by top officials in Luxembourg.

Three European commissioners, including the vice-president, Neil Kinnock, were hauled up by the European Parliament’s budget control committee, accused of ignoring warnings dating back to the 1990s of widespread corruption in Eurostat, the European Union’s data office.

Chris Heaton-Harris, a Tory MEP, said millions of pounds of public money had vanished into the hands of a clique of officals serving as directors of related companies.

“I’m convinced this has been a huge cover-up and the commission never had any intention of solving any of these problems until forced to by allegations in the press,” he said.

Obviously, there aren’t enough American troops to keep order over there.
