Neil Kinnock, the European Commission vice-president and champion of European Union reform, is to be questioned by MEPs about an alleged cover-up of mismanagement and cronyism by the EU's statistics body, Eurostat.
In the latest scandal to blight the commission's bureaucracy, the Luxembourg-based Eurostat organisation is suspected by EU anti-fraud investigators of illegitimately sub-contracting more than £1 million worth of research work to Eurogramme, a London-based company run by Edward Ojo, a former commission employee.
