| NATIONAL REPORT ON CORRUPTION (25.05.2007) |
| (2007-05-25) |

Corruption in Romania has grown in the last year against the background of political conflicts and contradictory public messages. That’s the conclusion of the latest report of the Bucharest branch of Transparency International. The organisation expresses concern over the future of the fight against corruption, since this theme has become a political instrument. The report also shows that in the health and education systems, petty corruption remains a problem. Iuliana Cospanaru is a programme coordinator with Transparency International Romania:
"Our report is structured in 3 parts. We tried to cover the legal, the institutional and the public policy developments. We’ve structured the report like this to assess the impact of the measures taken to tackle corruption, which consist mainly in legislative changes. At the level of the Penal Code there are 3 major changes. The first one introduces penal responsibility for legal entities. The second legislative change views corruption as a crime and extends the applicability of abuse of office. The victims of this can be not only Romanian citizens, but also stateless persons and legal entities. The third important legislative change regards the criminalization of conflicts of interest, about which we’ve repeatedly expressed our reservations from the point of view of the criminalization of this offense. As for the Penal Procedure Code, one of the most important changes concerns the right of prosecutors to intercept correspondence and to tap phone calls without a warrant from a judge”.
The Transparency International report does mention some of the progress made by Romania in fighting corruption. The Law on the National Agency for Integrity, which has been recently passed, addresses the basic principles of an anti-corruption public policy. The report also recommends that the new Penal Code and the Penal Procedure Code come into force, and a Public Administration Ethics Committee be created. Transparency International also recommends the continuation of legislative harmonization with the EU in the field of money laundering, and boosting the institutional capacity of the National Agency of Civil Servants.
