A European Commissioner has revealed that he received a football and chocolates from Qatar when he visited for the opening of the World Cup.
It comes as the EU is facing intense scrutiny in light of allegations of corruption against four people including a member of the European Parliament.
Questions have also been raised about Sports Commissioner, Margaritis Schinas, because of his recent visit to Qatar, and his praise for Qatar’s “far-reaching reforms”.
But there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on his part.
Speaking this afternoon in Strasbourg, Commissioner Schinas, stood by his public record and said people were right to be angry about the scandal.
