The original comment suggested countries only from Western and Northern Europe, thus my comment. I find it disturbing that this subtle discrimination is supported. I do not oppose the idea of all countries being involved.

No, the original comment by <flexie> did not suggest "countries only from Western and Northern Europe". Therefore, your allegations of subtle discrimination are based on your own mistaken reading of the comment:

> ...quite frankly, it would be nice also in Western and Northern Europe to have a supranational investigative body in stead of or in addition to parliamentary hearings, commissions etc. that often require parliament majority which rests with the government parties anyways.<

Alleging discrimination is serious, so you should at least make sure to actually read and think aobut a comment before accusing it's author of being discriminatory.

I have read it, obviously, since I have made a comment. I could have misinterpret it due to wording, commas and ideas inwrought in the other part of the comment, which has actually happened.

Okay, I'm sorry for being overly critical. It was first thing in the morning where I am, must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed!

No need to be sorry, my downvoted comment was overly defensive in the first place, so I take the blame for that :) I have misread it and that goes on me!

That's not what the original comment was suggesting - the line about Western and Northern Europe was that the author feels that such a supranational instigative body would also be helpful there.

Got it, sorry. I misinterpreted it. My apologies.

I believe you misread the post. I think what it meant to say was that such a police force would also be nice in Western and Northern Europe, where big cases of corruption usually lead to long winded hearings and commission processes and take years and years to investigate often ending with few concrete results.

You are correct sir, my bad. That makes more sense now, thanks for clarifying. Sorry!
