Strasbourg, 08/04/2008 - The Group of States against corruption -
GRECO publishes today its Eighth General Activity report (2007) which was presented last
Wednesday to the Committee of Ministers by GRECO’s President, Mr Drago
KOS (Slovenia).
The report provides details of GRECO’s operation during 2007 and of its
co-operation with other international players.
GRECO presents information on its First and Second Evaluation Rounds, as
well as the first visits carried out and the reports adopted in
connection with its Third Evaluation Round which was launched in January
2007. The Third Round deals with two distinct themes, i.e. the
incriminations provided for in the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption
(ETS 173), its Additional Protocol (ETS 191) and Guiding Principle 2 of
Resolution (97) 24, and the transparency of party funding (Recommendation
Rec(2003)4).
The report devotes an entire chapter to the issue of “revolving doors”,
based on GRECO’s Second Round Evaluations and a tour de table held on
this topic in October 2007, exploring the challenging issue of how to
best regulate the movement of public officials to the private sector.
In 2007, three new States joined GRECO: Italy, Monaco and the Russian
Federation. The group now has 46 member States. Liechtenstein and San
Marino remain the only Council of Europe Member States which have not
joined GRECO.
