A delegation of four GRECO evaluators from Belgium, Finland, the Slovak Republic and Ukraine, together with a member of the Secretariat, visited Iceland from 28 September to 2 October 2026 to conduct the on-site evaluation under GRECO’s Sixth Round, which focuses on preventing corruption and promoting integrity at the sub-national level. The City of Reykjavik and the City of Akureyri volunteered to participate in the evaluation.

During the visit, the delegation met with representatives of central institutions, national oversight bodies, municipal councils, mayors, and municipal administrations. It also held discussions with the Icelandic Association of Local Authorities, civil society, media representatives and academics.

GRECO will examine the evaluation report assessing the situation in the country and in the two participating municipalities in March 2027.
