About GRECO

The Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) monitors the compliance of its 49 member states with
the Council of Europe’s anti-corruption instruments. GRECO’s monitoring comprises an “evaluation
procedure” which is based on country specific responses to a questionnaire and on-site visits, and
which is followed up by an impact assessment (“compliance procedure”) which examines the
measures taken to implement the recommendations emanating from the country evaluations. A

dynamic process of mutual evaluation and peer pressure is applied, combining the expertise of
practitioners acting as evaluators and state representatives sitting in plenary.

The work carried out by GRECO has led to the adoption of a considerable number of reports that
contain a wealth of factual information on European anti-corruption policies and practices. The reports
identify achievements and shortcomings in national legislation, regulations, policies and institutional
set-ups, and include recommendations intended to improve the capacity of states to fight corruption
and to promote integrity.

Membership in GRECO is open, on an equal footing, to Council of Europe member states and non-
member states. The evaluation and compliance reports adopted by GRECO, as well as other
information on GRECO, are available at: www.coe.int/greco.
