"Mr President, there is a code of practice for European officials which instructs officials to act objectively and impartially, and to avoid conflicts of interest.
I have a leaflet here inviting people to a pre-election meeting of one of the candidates in the forthcoming senate elections in the Czech Republic where it states that the meeting will also be addressed by the EU’s ambassador to Iraq, who happens to be the wife of the candidate in question. There is nothing wrong with being someone’s wife, of course. It is also quite alright for someone to support their partner in the elections, but they should do so only as a private individual, and not as an official representative of the European Union.
In my opinion, this speech and this advice constituted a breach of Article 11 and Article 12 of the staff regulations of officials of the European Communities, and I would like to ask that the case be investigated in order to establish whether the ambassador had permission from her superiors to act in this way, and for the appropriate sanctions to be applied if this was not the case."@en1
