From 12 to 16 January 2026, a delegation comprising four GRECO evaluators (Ireland, Latvia, Slovak Republic and Switzerland) and one member of the Secretariat visited the United Kingdom to carry out the on-site evaluation under its 6th Round, aimed at preventing corruption and promoting integrity at the sub-national level. London, the capital, and the county of Kent volunteered to participate in this evaluation.
During the visit, the delegation met with numerous authorities and stakeholders from central and oversight bodies, local and regional councils and public administration, as well as from civil society and the academia. An evaluation report assessing the situation in the country and the two selected sub-national authorities will be drawn up and examined by the GRECO plenary in 2026.
