Session structure
Why have we included a regional dimension into the project proposal?
Why does this session come into play already at this stage of the project?
What does the TI-EU office generally do at the EU-level?
What is our office’s specific role in the ENIS project?
What are the potential entry points for advocacy at the EU-level?
Added value at European level
Simultaneous assessment in almost all EU member states
Comprehensive review of integrity systems across the EU
Identification & use of best practices in the field of anti-corruption
Common, EU-wide trend analysis => potential collective action by all EU
member states
Ergo:
Gathering of a tremendous amount of evidence on existing AC mechanisms
Generating a momentum among primary AC actors for the collective task of
preventing financial & economic crime across the EU
