[22/03/2013]
Heavily committed to combating corruption at local and regional levels, the Congress held a debate on Thursday 21 March 2013 with several heads of anti-corruption bodies on the best means of counteracting this 'political and economic gangrene' which undermines the whole of democracy. Among the speakers were Marin Mrcela, president of the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), Jean-Pierre Guis, president of the French ANTICOR association of elected representatives and citizens against corruption, Petra Kneuer, director of investigations of the European Union's Office European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), and Sir Alan Meale, British parliamentarian and member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The congress will build upon the results of this debate in order to elaborate a joint strategy for the promotion of ethics and the prevention of corruption at local and regional levels, which will be introduced progressively in all 47 member states.

Fortement engagé dans la lutte contre la corruption aux niveaux local et régional, le Congrès a convié, jeudi 21 mars 2013, plusieurs responsables d’organismes anti-corruption à débattre avec lui des meilleurs moyens de contrer cette « gangrène politique et économique » qui mine la démocratie toute entière. Parmi les intervenants figuraient Marin Mrcela, président du Groupe d’Etats contre la corruption (GRECO) du Conseil de l’Europe, Jean-Pierre Guis, président de l’association française ANTICOR qui réunit des élus et des citoyens contre la corruption, Petra Kneuer, directrice des investigations de l’Office européen de Lutte Antifraude (OLAF) de l’Union européenne, et Sir Alan Meale, parlementaire britannique et membre de l’Assemblée Parlementaire du Conseil de l’Europe. Le Congrès s’appuiera sur les résultats de ce débat pour élaborer une stratégie d’ensemble de promotion de l’éthique et de prévention de la corruption aux niveaux local et régional, qui sera mise en œuvre progressivement tout en visant à terme les 47 Etats membres du Conseil de l’Europe.
