Ethics and governance in the European Financial centers

GRECO held its 34th Plenary Meeting in Strasbourg, from 16 to 19 October.

The Group adopted the Addenda to the First Round Compliance Reports on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Malta, as well as the Addendum to the First Round Final Overall Assessment Report on Georgia and thus concluded the first round compliance procedures in respect of these three countries; the Group also adopted the Second Round Compliance Reports on Albania, the Netherlands, Spain and “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”. GRECO noted with satisfaction that the authorities of Georgia and Spain authorise the publication of their respective reports and invited Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” to authorise as well, as soon as possible, the publication of their reports.

GRECO held a tour de table on Rules and guidelines regarding revolving doors / pantouflage, including special presentations by intervenors from France, Latvia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The summary of the tour de table will soon be available on GRECO’s homepage.

Finally, GRECO discussed possible options for action to be taken in respect of the International Anti-corruption Day (9 December 2007).
