Secret vote keeps EU whistleblower from office.

Marta Andreasen's real crime was that she had found the EU's accounting system so chaotic and open to fraud that she put forward proposals for it to be completely reformed, says Christopher Booker.
When the newly-elected Ukip MEP Marta Andreasen was put forward last Monday for a vice-chairmanship of the EU Parliament's budget committee, charged with scrutinising the EU's £100 billion annual spending, it might have seemed rather a good idea. Ms Andreasen knows a good deal more about the inner workings of the EU budget than the rest of the committee put together.
This is because she was formerly the EU's chief accountant. I wrote about her here two months ago when she published her book Brussels Laid Bare. In it she recounts the events leading up to the day in 2004 when she was finally sacked, after three years of suspension, having had the audacity to refuse to sign off the EU's accounts. (In 15 years they have never been signed off by the EU's Court of Auditors, because they are so full of what it tactfully likes to call "irregularities".)
Ms Andreasen's real crime was that she had found the EU's accounting system so chaotic and open to fraud that she put forward proposals for it to be completely reformed. This particularly enraged the director-general of the EU's budget department, and his ally Neil Kinnock, the commissioner responsible for rooting out fraud, who, when she explained the difficulties she was having to members of the EU Parliament, angrily accused her of "disloyalty and breach of trust".
Last week the two largest groups in the Parliament, the EPP and the Socialists, were so keen to avoid the embarrassment of Ms Andreasen being given office that they broke with convention and insisted that the vote be held in secret. After she was duly rejected by 20 votes to nine, the leaders of the two groups were seen celebrating in the bar with champagne. It would never do for the budget committee to elect someone whose desire is to see the European Commission made honest.
