LIBOR/EURIBOR scandal 

Draft EU rules to improve the transparency and reliability of benchmarks that may affect key financial market rates or the pricing of retail financial contracts such as mortgages will be put to a vote in the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee. The rules were prompted by the rigging of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR).
