Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35
Paragraph 35
35. Deplores the fact that the Commission no longer feels the need to publish the anti-corruption report, which has impaired the assessment of the scale of corruption; recalls its recommendation of 13 December 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into money laundering, tax avoidance and tax evasion, in which it noted that the anti- corruption monitoring by the Commission will be pursued through the European Semester process; took the view that anti- corruption might be overshadowed by other economic and financial matters in this process; and called on the Commission to lead by example, resuming the publication of the report and committing to a much more credible and comprehensive anti-corruption strategy; points out that the fight against corruption is a matter of police and justice cooperation, a policy area where the European Parliament is co-legislator and has full scrutiny powers.
Amendment 59 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 36
Paragraph 36
36. Reiterates its opinion that corruption is an enormous challenge for the EU and the Member States, and that, without effective measures against it, corruption undermines economic performance, the rule of law and the credibility of democratic institutions within the Union; recalls its Resolution of 25 October 2016 with recommendations to the Commission on the establishment of an EU mechanism on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights, specifically calling for the establishment of an annual report on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights (European DRF Report) with country- specific recommendations, including a specific focus on corruption.
