Let's hope that the Commission does not try to cover this up. At least with the Council of Europe involved, we may see some investigation that we would not have otherwise seen. The Council of Europe does not exist under the same political constraints as the EU (though it does have others). The Council of Europe exists in a legal/human rights/democracy professional ethos or atmosphere. This is its reason for being, so it is likely to be a bit more forceful and diligent in its investigation. If the Council of Europe cannot stop something like this IN Europe, then its reason for its existence is truly in question.
