Prodi faces grilling over latest EC fraud scandal

European Commission president Romano Prodi faces a grilling from Euro-MPs tomorrow over the latest fraud scandal to plague the European Commission.

The fact that the meeting will be behind closed doors in Strasbourg, and only open to members of the European Parliament’s Budgetary Control Committee, has hardly helped Mr Prodi’s claim to be running a sleaze-busting, publicly-accountable Euro-bureaucracy.
