"Madam President, I should like to report to you on the fact that recent articles state that US public prosecutors have filed charges against the German company Daimler for bribery of foreign officers in a bid to win and sign government contracts. The bill of indictment states that the company has been involved in a long-term bribery process. The same issue arose with Siemens, which applied the same practice and corrupted the governments of thirty countries in a bid to win contracts from public corporations, a scandal which is still rocking Greece. As a result, apart from the financial crisis, we also have a moral crisis. Until recently, the German Government did not prosecute bribery outside its borders and pretended that it knew nothing of these events. Finally, instead of acting, instead of activating the Fraud Prevention Committee, the European Commission does not defend the legality and, in numerous cases, does not safeguard European citizens’ money."@en1
