"Adrian Severin, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Romania, was suspended from the Social Democratic Party in his home country after the European Parliament corruption scandal in which he was implicated came to light. He was also expelled from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, but he remains in office as an MEP. Together with two other Members of this House, he is facing a corruption charge, after he allegedly agreed to support a legislative amendment in return for money. Despite this, he himself claims that all of the charges are fabricated. I personally take the view that the behaviour of my colleague is deplorable, and that any case of – or even sign of – corruption is totally unacceptable. We need the legislative means to tackle similar situations, and I also firmly believe that if anyone commits a similar transgression he should bear responsibility for his behaviour. I also believe it would be right and proper in such cases to surrender one’s office as an MEP."@en1
