Petr Ježek
Born in Prague in 1965. A graduate of Prague’s University of Economics, Petr Ježek joined his country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a diplomat. For some ten years, he held relatively high posts related to the country’s ties with the EU, e.g. heading the Foreign Ministry’s European Integration Department and serving as Deputy State Secretary for European Affairs. He also worked as chief of staff of then Czech Prime Minister Vladimír Špidla. In 2014, Petr Ježek was elected Member of the European Parliament on the ballot of the ANO 2011 party.

New information released in the so-called Bahamas Leaks has again underlined the need for an inquiry by MEPs into tax money laundering, tax avoidance and tax evasion, and it confirms the decision to form the special PANA committee. These new revelations must be explored by the PANA committee, regardless of the additional workload.
It is alarming that the name of a former European commissioner appears in the leaks. EU institutions must act to better protect themselves against such unacceptable conduct.
