images3Corruption continues to be one of the biggest challenges in the European Union - a phenomenon that costs the EU economy around €120 billion per year.

Despite the legal and policy initiatives undertaken so far by member states, the results of anti-corruption efforts across the EU remain rather unsatisfactory overall.

That is why on 3 February the European Commission is publishing its first EU Anti-Corruption report, which provides a clear state of play in each member state: what is in place, what are the outstanding issues, what policies are working, what could be improved and how.

Background

The Anti-Corruption Report shows that the nature and scope of corruption varies from one member state to another and that the effectiveness of anti-corruption policies can be quite different.

The EU Anti-Corruption Report covers all 28 member states and includes:

  • A horizontal chapter summarising the main findings and describing corruption-related trends across the EU.
  • A thematic chapter focusing on public procurement and covering corruption and anti-corruption measures within national systems of public procurement.
  • Country chapters providing a snapshot of the general situation regarding corruption, identifying issues that require further attention, and highlighting good practices which might be inspiring for others.

The report also includes the results of two Eurobarometer surveys on the perception of corruption among European citizens on the one hand and companies on the other.
