星期一， 2007年4月23日
试图驱逐朝向欧洲腐败调查的法律专家 大卫Leigh和Rob Evans 英国隐蔽地设法驱逐世界的主要反贿赂监视人的头防止部长批评，并且英国的最大的武器公司， BAE，监护人学会了。努力去除标记Pieth来，因为他的组织爬上它的对英国的政府的决定进行调查杀害主要询问入指控BAE支付巨型的贿款登陆沙特武器交易。 英国的外交官寻求去除Pieth，主持经济合作与开发组织反腐败监视人的瑞士法律专家教授(经济合作与发展组织)，要求他是太坦率的。 在经济合作与发展组织会议上在上个月巴黎，英国的官员设法停止Pieth教授演讲他宣布他的代办处将举办正式询问入政府的决定终止BAE调查的新闻招待会。 他们私下然后简报了其他外交官介入与经济合作与发展组织，说应该去除他。 当那发生了故障，竞选反对他继续了没有减退以更加进一步的渠道怨言。 但对英国的外交官的品行的关心过滤了回到Pieth教授，昨天证实他知道尝试去除他。 “我知道英国的大使当时请求行动被采取反对我”，他说。 pieth教授拒绝详尽阐述，但他被明白私下是愤怒的在他被恶意攻击的方式。 一个来源在增加的经济合作与发展组织： “英国的代表寄发到巴黎阉割[监视人]，并且保证他们没有公开地说什么。 他们发生了故障并且不是喜悦的。 他们有些表现了不会是不恰当的在拳击台”。 英国最近几星期要求经济合作与发展组织官员应该防止做所有未来声明关于BAE事例，当询问是持续的时。 但请求击中了一个砖墙。 经济合作与发展组织来源认为： “英国没有支持从任何人在此”。 经济合作与发展组织，天使Gurr的主任？a，也相信英国鼓励不正当竞选反对他。 Last Friday he was accused in a British magazine of giving a job to his daughter, getting free football tickets, and spending ?733,000 (?500,000) to refurbish his Paris flat in what was described as “the poshest bit of the swanky 16th arrondissement”. The article in the Economist quoted an unnamed north European ambassador expressing fears that “the staid old body [OECD] … may drift into dangerous waters” under Mr Gurr?a, the former finance minister of Mexico. Following the allegations, Mr Gurr?a issued a combative statement, saying that he was under UK media attack by “innuendo, gossip and partial truths”. “It is no surprise that this attack occurs at this time,” he added. Britain’s ambassador to the OECD, David Lyscom, admitted yesterday that he had talked off the record to the Economist but added: “The UK had absolutely nothing to do with planting the story.” The UK partly controls OECD purse-strings, and also has the power to veto Prof Pieth’s reappointment, due next January. Sensitivity over the OECD inquiry has become more acute since its 36-strong panel announced last month detailed plans to mount a fresh official inspection of Britain because of the manner in which the BAE inquiry had been halted. It also rebuked the UK for failing to keep its promises to modernise its inadequate corruption laws, under which no one has yet been prosecuted. The UK also faces a legal challenge in London. Two campaign groups, the anti-corruption group The Cornerhouse and the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, filed detailed pleadings last week alleging that Britain had broken the treaty banning corrupt payments by companies to foreign politicians and officials.
