Luxembourg Prime Minister Delin Hanin: The whole issue of graduation is plagiarized, except for the 2 pages

According to the newspaper, reporter.But, Bettel had removed three-quarters of the text, describing it as “an impressive cluster of copied passages that did not meet the academy's customary demands”.

Bettel, who has been prime minister since 2013, said the topic was more than 20 years old and written with a clear conscience. But “from today's perspective, yes, probably should have become different”, he said.

Bettel said he had full confidence at Lauren's University in France to assess whether the work met its standards at the time and that he would naturally accept “his” decision, even if it meant attracting his qualifications.

According to Reporter.lu, the topic called “directed a possible reform of the voting systems in the European Parliament contained long text passages that were removed without being attributed by two books, four internet pages and a press article.

He said only “several paragraphs at the login” and “an equally short conclusion” had not been copied in large numbers, leading to an exercise of plagiarism “unprecedented in its extent” a decision he said was confirmed by independent experts.

A lot of 20 pages of the paper were removed directly from the European Parliament's website in opposition to a clear copyright warning, with nine more taken by a 1998 report by a Greek Eurodeput and further passages copied by a standard entry text on EU institutions.

The strategy I found is very problematic because long passages were transferred almost literally,” told the newspaper Anna-Lena Högenauer, a political science professor at Luxembourg University. You cannot copy several pages by accident. ”
