Is EU selective on defence deals corruption cases?

What happened to the the EU commission’s report on corruption in Germany?
Corruption is a tango dance between the “Corrupter” and the “Corrupted” to the tune of political expedience and under the direction of economic interests.
While the world’s “Independent Media” selectively reports corruption cases, elected government bodies, such as the EU commission, turn a blind eye and make sure they have a short memory. The “Corrupter” is praised for its economic miracles and the “Corrupted” is defamed for its “rotten system”.
” EU commission called upon to go after corrupt defence deals

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – MEPs and defence experts are calling on the EU commission to go after market-distorting, corrupt side-deals to big weapon deals between member states, such as the ones greasing Germany’s submarine sales to Portugal and Greece. …
The EU hypocrisy of allowing Greek and Portuguese governments allocate huge parts of their budget for questionable defense purchases, while they are being pressed for austerity measures to cap their deficit, already made headlines such as “The submarine deals that helped sink Greece” in the Wall Street Journal earlier this month. …
Munich-based investigators in March opened a case against the German engineering group Ferrostaal, suspected of paying bribes to secure defence contracts in Portugal and Greece and of organising bribery payments on behalf of other firms for a fee. So far, the commission has turned a blind eye to the non-military contracts occurring alongside large defence procurements.”
