Corruption undermines #democracy, the rule of law, and sustainable development.
We took decisive action to tackle it by proposing new rules to:
▶ criminalise corruption offences across the Union
▶ build a culture of integrity
▶ ensure effective investigations and prosecution of #corruption
With this proposal, we will tighten the net around the corrupt, in the EU and worldwide.

Yes, I can see why the UK Conservative party wanted out at any cost...
@EU_Commission EU commission is as anti democratic as it gets. You're literally unelected and impossible to remove and it's you who create laws. My elected representatives are powerless in your system.
@EU_Commission the net cannot be tight enough
@EU_Commission I wonder how it'll work for Hungary. Hungarians would really like that to work and get corrupted politicians into the bar room.
@EU_Commission Such a shame that Great Britain is no longer in the EU!
@EU_Commission Does this only cover proletarian corruption (bribing police officers) or also corruption for the extremely rich (business deals with politicians)? That you no longer see any roaches does not mean you don't live in a roach house.
@EU_Commission What is the difference between corruption and lobbying?
@EU_Commission how about inside EU institutions themselves? Not just governments but Eurocrats, too. We need exemplary behaviour from you if people are going to trust the EU and we need people to trust it. Now more than ever. Yes, I’m thinking Quatargate - and beyond.
@EU_Commission EU accounts failed to be signed off every year for more than twenty years. Get off your high horse, you undemocratic, opaque hypocrites.
@EU_Commission This is what Brexit was all about. The grubby UK and its offshore (and onshore) money laundering activities.
@EU_Commission How wonderful we in the UK will be able to bribe, I mean lonby, and launder money unhindered! Another Brexshit dividend! :-)
@EU_Commission Time to look at Hungary and their lovely leader!
