It’s time to prioritise effective law enforcement over redundant bureaucracy. Let’s ensure our institutions work for the people, not against them. 🧵 (5/5) #EthicsBody
Instead of creating new structures, we should focus on strengthening existing law enforcement bodies, such as OLAF and EPPO, alongside our national judiciaries. 🧵 (4/5) #EthicsBody
We must safeguard the fundamental principles of the rule of law, the rights of our Parliament, and the freedom of mandate for our elected MEPs. 🧵 (3/5) #EthicsBody
Rather than reinforcing accountability, this disciplinary chamber risks undermining the rule of law and the separation of powers. It lacks a clear legal basis and introduces unnecessary bureaucracy. 🧵 (2/5) #EthicsBody
The proposed ‘Ethics Body’ is the wrong answer to a valid question. An outsourced Ethics Body cannot and will not prevent wrongdoing or corruption. 🧵 (1/5) #EthicsBody
