The Commission published its first EU anticorruption report, addressed to the Council and European Parliament, on 3 February 2014. The report includes a description of corruption-related trends across the EU, a focus on one cross-cutting issue of particular relevance at an EU level (which is public procurement in this first report) and the results of Eurobarometer surveys of 2013 on perceptions and experience of corruption. Country chapters for each of the 28 Member States are also annexed to the report. These highlight selected key issues of relevance to the particular Member State and identify steps for addressing corruption there more effectively. The next report will be published in two years.

The report is available at: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/home-affairs/e-library/documents/policies/organized-crime-and-human-trafficking/corruption/docs/acr_2014_en.pdf
