...politicians toed the line. Dozens of judges and other bureaucrats were sacked and hundreds of politicians barred from office for breaking the rules and threatening the peaceful development of a multiethnic country.

European Union development boss Louis Michel told the Development Committee that such a qualitative ranking of countries had limited use. Development needs "dialogue and positive incentives rather than sanctions and conditionality," Michel told the Committee. "Governance can not be limited to fight against corruption.
