LONDON, June 20 (Reuters) - FIFA's outgoing president Sepp Blatter has endorsed a German proposal for integrity checks at world soccer's governing body as it grapples with the fallout of a massive corruption scandal.
Blatter, himself under scrutiny, said in his latest column in FIFA Weekly magazine that German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach had put forward the proposal for integrity checks of officials in all FIFA's main committees.
"The message (Niersbach) has thereby sent out must apply to everyone: only together can we continue to drive the process of reform forward. That is something I will stand for until my final day in office," Blatter said.
