"It is absolutely imperative that the revelations of high level corruption are brought to the public’s attention and are dealt with appropriately. Furthermore, the continuing treatment of migrant workers is the real scandal. The fact that FIFA and others are turning a blind eye to the terrible abuses of migrant construction workers is absolutely unacceptable. More than 4 000 workers will have died by the time the Qatar World Cup kicks off. The tragic cost of this corruption in FIFA is modern-day slavery. FIFA is not just corrupt, it is implicitly endorsing the Qatari Government’s abuse of migrant workers’ rights. In light of the deaths of almost 2 000 workers so far, FIFA has no option but to reopen the discussion on the location of the World Cup 2022. The EU cannot continue to look the other way. It should be defending ILO conventions above any other interest. It was for these reasons that I voted in favour of this joint motion for a resolution."@en1
