Developing pilot anti-corruption indicators based on EU integration requirements
MANS initiated project to develop objective indicators for monitoring progress in the fight against corruption throughout the EU integration process.
In order to develop a comprehensive picture on requirements of the previous accession processes, we have conducted analyses of the European Commission’s Progress reports for countries in the region, Romania and Bulgaria for the period 2005 – 2008, as well as Council of Europe’s and GRECO’s reports and recommendations. In these reports we identified key areas in which corruption exists and their recommendation and solutions and we segregated gathered information into 13 sections for each country, and furthermore, we segregated information by the areas in which corruption exists. On the basis of these information we developed comprehensive summary/analysis for each of the countries in which the main issues, progresses and achievements, recognized by the reports, are emphasized. In the first stage of the project we conducted research on previous experiences in fight against corruption and EU integration.
We collected all relevant reports on Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Romania and Bulgaria to gather all information related to corruption for each of the abovementioned countries.
