Corruption and Transparency – L-MEP u Int – Prog 108

The fight against tax evasion and corruption are key topics which are discussed at length during the G20 Summits and other meetings between the Member States of the European Union. Corruption is rampant in African countries and many industries that operate in these countries are mentioned with relation to the exploitation of oil and minerals.

Recently, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs discussed two particular reports that have been drawn up to suggest ways on how to increase transparency in this area. Prof. Edward Scicluna, member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and democrats, is representing his group as shadow rapporteur on one of these reports.

The work of the European Union and United States together with other countries in combating corruption was the subject that Labour MEP Edward Scicluna discussed in this programme 108 of L-MEP u Int (The MEP and You).
