Stop corruption

Recent developments[edit | edit source]

In 2019 the EU appointed the first European Public Prosecuter with the task to stop corruption.

At Volt, a political movement, you can find some possible actions in the 'Mapping of Policies'(MoP).
Volt suggests the following actions:
- Confer (Dutch: 'verlenen') additional powers to OLAF (Office Européen de Lutte Anti-Fraude).
- Expand the European Transparency Register.
- Effectively tackle the phenomenon of ‘revolving doors’. A cooling off period when people switch from one job to another job.
- Lead by example on the transparency of party financing.
- Introduce requirements of full disclosure of the office expenses and spending of elected officials in carrying out their work, including Members of Parliament and Members of the European Parliament, along the lines already taken by certain groups of MEPs.
- Expand implementation of Integrity Pacts and clean contracting in public procurement and public-private partnership, together with civil society, in line with Transparency International’s recommended best practice.
