Austria: COE, fight against corruption is 'disappointing'
GRECO, measures for Parliament and judges are unsatisfactory
17 July, 19:33GRECO underlined that only one out of the 19 recommendations sent to the country in 2016 was followed, while 5 were only partially followed and the remaining 13 remain unfulfilled.
As for the MPs, GRECO said that the measures enforced to prevent corruption are "clearly disappointing" and therefore urges the parliament to speed up the enforcement of a code of conduct, for the declaration of assets and interests, and to manage lobbyists. As for the judiciary, Greco remarked that all anti-corruption reforms have not yet been finalized. The Strasbourg-based body asked Austria to submit a detailed report on the issue by December. (ANSA).
