The European Commission is set to issue a scathing indictment of high-level corruption, maladministration and failures in the handling of European Union funds in Bulgaria.
That's according to a draft report on the management of EU funds in the member state, which joined the bloc in January 2007. It said that as a result, Brussels has barred four Bulgarian agencies from handling EU funds, freezing nearly € 1 billion in pre-accession aid and threatening future payments.
The report is due to be adopted by the EU executive next week. Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Meglena Plugchieva, who was appointed this year to clean up the handling of EU funds, is set to hold a meeting with the EU's anti-fraud agency in Brussels this Friday.

Ex-Taiwan President pleads not guilty on graft charge


Former Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian has pleaded not guilty to a charge of receiving bribes in a land deal. He appeared at a Taipei court for a pre-trial hearing on graft charges which he says are politically motivated. The 58-year-old Chen has admitted that his wife transferred $20 million abroad but said that she had done so without his knowledge. He has also admitted submitting bogus expense forms but said the money was used for "secret diplomatic missions". While in office, he was in favour of independence from China, which considers the island part of its territory, and Chen says he is the victim of a witch-hunt by the current pro-Beijing government. The trial is expected to start in mid-February. If proved guilty, Chen could face life in prison.


 During World War II Medawar investigated the repair of peripheral nerve injuries. In one of these investigations he devised the first biological "glue," which he used to reunite severed nerves and to fix grafts. This work stimulated his interest in the techniques for transplantation. In 1942 Medawar turned his attention to skin grafts as a result of the need to replace skin after severe burns. He demonstrated that grafts from unrelated donors (homografts) are normally destroyed as a consequence of an immunological response - the homograft reaction - on the part of the host. He was determined then to break down this homograft barrier.
