Council Adopts New EU Law to Combat Corruption
The Council of the European Union has adopted new EU-wide rules establishing a harmonised criminal law framework to prevent and fight corruption. This significant step aims to strengthen the EU's capacity to tackle corruption across member states, ensuring a consistent approach to criminalizing corruption offenses and improving cross-border cooperation in investigations. The new law will lead to more effective prosecution of corrupt activities, fostering greater transparency and accountability within the EU.
Stronger, harmonised EU laws will better combat corruption across member states.
