This includes, as CEO's complaint shows, at least 14 undisclosed meetings involving top Commission officials from the Secretariat-General and members of Commission President Barroso's cabinet.

• • EU• The ‘Dalligate’ scandal came to light on 21 May 2012, when Europe’s most senior civil servant, Secretary

General Catherine Day, received a letter from snus manufacturer Swedish Match alleging that Health Commissioner Mr Dalli was involved in an attempted bribe to lift the EU ban on selling snus. Maltese entrepreneur and political canvasser Silvio Zammit had used his contacts with Mr Dalli, who is also from Malta, to elicit 60 million Euros from Swedish Match in return for lifting the ban.
