The European Ombudsman, P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, announced on the 14 February 2013 that he would open an inquiry into how the European Commission implements its rules concerning conflicts of interest in 'revolving doors' cases. This follows a complaint from Corporate Europe Observatory, Greenpeace, LobbyControl, and Spinwatch. The term 'revolving doors' is used to describe a move by public sector staff to closely linked jobs in the private sector, or vice versa. The Ombudsman will look into the complainants' allegation about a systemic failure on the part of the Commission to deal properly with such cases. |
