A "half-miracle" has been
preformed over the last year with respect to preparations for
Expo 2015, commissioner and CEO Giuseppe Sala said Tuesday.
"Unfortunately things that shouldn't have happened did,"
said Sala in reference to a high-profile scandal that broke last
summer concerning allegations of corruption in relation to
contracts for the Universal Exposition in Milan.
"However, the reaction from the government and the system
has been commendable," he continued, thanking the president of
Italy's anti-corruption authority Raffaele Cantone in
particular.
"Collaborative works inspections have been fundamental. The
works have not been delayed. Companies approaching Expo in
recent tender competitions have understood that the margins for
dishonesty are very limited," Sala concluded.
