This Communication sets out how the Commission intends to step up cooperation between the EU and the Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), following the Commission’s ‘anti-corruption package’ of 6 June 2011. It envisages a two-stage approach consisting first of a ‘full participant’ status based on Article 220 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) that may, in a second stage, lead to full EU membership of GRECO. That approach will allow cooperation to be increased, within a relatively sort time-frame, on the basis of full participant status and pending an analysis of how full membership, including evaluation of EU institutions by GRECO, would be organised in practice. |
