IN part 13 of the series ("An EPO Administrative Council Exposé"), which we've just published, it is made increasingly apparent that the governing body of the second-largest institution in Europe, or the EPO's Administrative Council, is overrun by corrupt officials or "captured" officials. Instead of doing their job, such as representing their country, they serve special interests and sometimes the interests of other countries (for personal gain).

"...hope or faith is fading away; the expectation has become that the Administrative Council will generally participate or cooperate with crooks."This isn't a Balkan problem; it's just that a new example emerged some months ago and the top officials of the Administrative Council seemed to have covered it all up. Like European media or EU officials, they seem to believe that the sole goal is to brush those things under a rug and never work to properly correct (or prevent) that. This means that, as we shall explain in the next (and final) part, hope or faith is fading away; the expectation has become that the Administrative Council will generally participate or cooperate with crooks. The Administrative Council is collectively "captured" and as we've recently seen in the case of Team UPC that capture can extend to national governments as big as Germany's. ⬆
