Key points

The current ethical framework in the EU is fragmented across different institutions, making it difficult to enforce consistent standards.
The new ethics body should be granted investigative powers, including the ability to request administrative documents and act on its own initiative.
There is a need for common sanctions to ensure that rules are applied uniformly across all participating EU institutions.
The scope of the ethics body should be expanded to include EU staff, not just elected members.
