"When the Greek representative left the Greek patent office," an insider from the EPO told us, "Battistelli kept him as president of the finance and budget committee for another two years, illegally of course. And why? The answer is obvious. Serafeim Stasinos at that time was rather stronger than the Danish counterpart."

“Lots of money [was] in Battistelli's pocket while the Greek representative was president of the finance and budget committee...”
      --AnonymousWe had previously heard something like this (about Greek people in charge of finance at the EPO), so the above message rang a bell.

"This Greek guy is a master in bullying," continued this source. "You should ask the Greek employees about that..."

"Lots of money [was] in Battistelli's pocket while the Greek representative was president of the finance and budget committee," our source claimed. If anyone out there has additional information about this, please do get in touch (preferably anonymously).

We can't help but wonder if all this was also Battistelli's way of buying Greek representatives' votes.

“The representatives make their own deals, as Battistelli is quite generous to them...”
      --Anonymous"But also there is a rumour about the Italian representative," our source continued. "This information comes from epi. To appoint someone whose name is not involved in anything so fat and at the same time can be manipulated."

Her name is Loredana Gulino and she is listed here. epi has not made a statement, so this is just hearsay.

"The issue is that whoever will be, nothing changes," our source explained. "The representatives make their own deals, as Battistelli is quite generous to them..."

"Two years ago the Greek representative changed again and came from the left party. At the beginning he opposed Battistelli, and some months later become Battistelli's puppet. Ioannis Kaplanis is the "left" representative at the AC" (Administrative Council). ⬆
