The European Commission (EC) clarified Wednesday that not only is cooperating with the Portuguese authorities to investigate the case Banif, as is dealing with the matter as a priority. However, he says, the issues raised by the parliamentary commission of inquiry led by Communist deputy António Filipe are “extensive” and take time to answer.
“As the Commission [European] already confirmed to the Portuguese Parliament is currently taking all the necessary steps to adequately respond to the request, “said an EC spokesman Publico via email. “This takes some time given the extent of the application, but the Commission clearly is addressing the issue with priority,” he added.
The chairman of the survey Banif criticized earlier this week, the European institutions, in particular the EC for failing to reply to requests for information about “responsibilities and on the intervention” to the bank.
