Council adopts new EU-wide law to combat corruption
European Council
Today, the Council gave the final go-ahead to a new EU law that harmonises the definition of corruption across member states and establishes a common level of penalties to sanction such offences. With measures to prevent corruption and rules to strengthen investigation and prosecution, the law will reinforce the fight against corruption both in the public and private sector. This new EU directive will replace two existing EU laws: one law from 2003 on corruption in the private sector, and an EU Convention from 1997 on corruption involving EU officials and officials of EU member states.
