The council of ministers, which is refusing to disclose the way it spends money, also got a red light.

The votes come one day after Diana Banaty, a top official, resigned from the EU food safety authority (Efsa) in Italy to go and work for the same food lobby outfit she was criticised for having been a member of two years ago.
