Focusing on the European Commission's ethical standards since 1999, this book critically examines the institution's responses to allegations of nepotism, patronage, corruption, and fraud. By analyzing how the Commission has addressed these concerns, it provides a thorough investigation into the validity of popular claims and the effectiveness of the Commission's measures to tackle ethical issues. This study fills a significant gap in understanding the Commission's internal processes and accountability regarding public perceptions and criticisms.
