+ Transparency in external EU spending

+ Transparent lobbying rules at EU level

+ Transparent procurement rules (for the management of EU funds and for funding of the internal market)

+ the development of an EU-wide debarment system (applied to EU funds and later beyond)

+ Fight against corruption through EU’s judicial/police cooperation

+ the European Prosecutor

+ Whistleblowing

+ Corruption-free export credit insurance
