					<description><![CDATA[“Not having been aware of these activities, the Commission is now seeking information about them to asses them against the code of conduct.”

What a sheer waste of EU resources.  In Malta, presented with the same situation, Joseph Muscat calls Mr Dalli in for coffee at Castille, hears him out (ghax &#039;gvern li jisma&#039;)  and decrees that all&#039;s well and Mr Dalli can go on in his health consultant&#039;s role.  

Can&#039;t Mr Barroso do the same?  

And if for argument&#039;s sake Mr Dalli did breach the code of ethics can&#039;t he just grant him a waiver a la Dr Mercieca? Or better still, couldn&#039;t Mr Barroso throw his rule book out of the window because it&#039;s like a&lt;em&gt; briksa&lt;/em&gt; and too long to read?

Why can&#039;t Mr Barroso be like our Prime Minister, modern and accountable?]]></description>
