Output 1.1 Efficient monitoring, coordination and management of the anti-corruption strategy ensured and annual action plans available
On 27 December 2007 the Parliament
adopted the Decision for updating the National Anti-corruption Strategy
and Action Plan. The revised Anti-corruption Strategy and Action Plan
offer limited answers to the co-ordination issue between various
existing monitoring mechanisms. The adopted amendments envisage that the
Chairman of the Threshold Country Plan will submit just two reports per
year to the MG meeting.
In February 2008 the President of the Republic of Moldova signed a new
decree for appointing the new members of the Monitoring Group without
substantial changes regarding the level of participation of civil
society representatives.
The MG adopted a decision to create a working group for drafting
amendments to its regulations.
