Welcome to the Economic Crime and Cooperation Division

Back Workshops for regional business ombudsmen

The PRECOP II project conducted three back-to-back workshops on 28-30 March 2017 in Tver.

The workshops brought together representatives of federal and regional Business Ombudsman Offices, executive and legislative bodies, and business associations of the Tver region but also from other pilot regions participating in the project to discuss: corruption factors and trends in provision of public services to business entities by municipal authorities; typologies of corruption affecting the business sector; and corruption practices affecting the procurement process at the municipal level in the Russian Federation.

The participants had an opportunity to discuss the main findings and recommendations of the relevant draft studies prepared by the Council of Europe experts with the input of the respective Expert Working Groups. They provided valuable feedback which will serve to finalise the studies and tailor corresponding recommendations to specific needs and country context taking into account international standards and good practice in respective fields.
