You're surely not suggesting that the EU took action to defend (among
other names) Parma Ham just so that they could lose the case, and that
they did so because "they" (presumably you're suggestiing it was the
Italian ex president of the European Commission) were bribed to do so.

That is - charitably speaking - the only possible interpretation of
your remarks and is arrant nonsense.


All the best
