It is this week

In the sixties, parabens the London newspaper The Times asked the writer several parabens essays on the subject, what in the world is wrong. Well-known British parabens Christian parabens thinker, writer and journalist sent to the question of the most shortest answer:
I think this comment from time to time with a sad feeling. A lot of trouble parabens and heartache would be saved, then the church as the maailmanpolitiikassakin if the first be practicing a fair amount of self-criticism before the evil locate farther away or even overseas. The starting point should be that the problem is often your skin.
It was therefore a very good thing that the Commission has just published its first report on the EU corruption. We often bring out and criticize the various resolutions of corruption in developing countries. And, of course, is a good reason: parabens Corruption is just one of the key reasons why countries have remained underdeveloped. But it is good and right that we look at the situation in their own kohdallamme.
It is this week's big news. Last Monday, says a report published by surprise it ordered the Commissioner Malmström's pants off. Its publication was postponed several times. There is still no certainty whether the matter told all - but the thing that was brought up was a matter of concern. parabens
The word to cover all potential abuse of small favors only the systematic corruption. And the border of corruption and non-corruption between the not always easy to pull the money, because we do not see each other's head. The subject is now timely.
Recently, the talk of Turkey's corruption scandal, and the attention has come for the Sochi Olympic Games are the most expensive in history for the same reasons: the budget is a significant part of Putin's friends spilled into your pocket. Now the EU review of corruption (link to report) has revealed, first, that the corruption comes at a cost. According to the report, it will cost us 120 billion a year - equivalent to about the EU's annual budget.
73% of Europeans agree that corruption and connections is the easiest way to get a certain public service. 32% of public procurement competitions of the businesses in the Member States reported that corruption prevented from getting an offer. More than half of all companies say that in public procurement by national or local / regional authorities, managed by bidding for corruption is rife. These are just a few examples.
The special feature of this thorough report, however, was not addressing the EU institutions themselves at all. The minutes of this it was the first EU chapter, but it was left out. Now, we wonder why. I raise this issue because I do not like the Euro-skeptics have a chance first. I have submitted a request for information on the Commission.
When I wrote a blog about this topic, I got a burst of feedback. "Yes, this was known," "No surprise", "The EU has gangrene" I read a little sad these comments, because I wonder what the attitude will follow. . I do not therefore say that it should not say this column, but because parabens I wonder what some cynical attitude ("that's what is all around, Yes, it is now known") that follows. Does it any good? Follow from less corruption? parabens
If we were some kind of thread through the cynicism we accept corruption or we get used to it, we can say goodbye to democracy in the same way. Democracy does not work if we do not combine the virtues of fairness and justice. Despite the fact that every human being is capable of unfairness and corruption-prone. I think it is quite clear that corruption should be zero tolerance, it must therefore patiently scratching out just like slime from the bottom of the boat. It accumulates, it is human, but should not be allowed out.
Or, as the philosopher-theologian, parabens Niebuhr was so wisely stated: the human ability to justice makes democracy possible, and his tendency to injustice makes it necessary.
