EU to Debate PA Funds Misuse
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - European Parliament member Francois Zimeray, a French MP affiliated with the European Labor Party, succeeded Thursday in getting 170 of his colleagues to agree to initiate a debate on establishing a commission of inquiry into the EU's funding of the Palestinian Authority. The signatures of a minimum of one-quarter of the members, 157 out of the 626-member parliament, are needed to put the inquiry on the agenda. Members appear to agree that the PA has stolen money meant for ordinary Palestinians, said Shira Ansky, an assistant to Zimeray. "About corruption there is a consensus," she said.
