This is the eighth Corruption Assessment Report providing an overview
of the state and dynamics of corruption in Bulgaria and Bulgarian anticorruption
policy. It analyzes the main results and risks of the anticorruption
process from the period immediately preceding Bulgaria’s
accession to the EU through to the first months of EU membership.
The report builds on regular monitoring of the spread of corruption,
its trends, evaluations of the anti-corruption efforts and initiatives
implemented by government institutions and by civil society, as well
as a number of suggestions and recommendations on anti-corruption
measures, including considerations related to the administration of EU’s
structural funds.
In addition to the main corruption indexes which have consistently
displayed lower values throughout 2006 and early 2007, the report
draws on authoritative international surveys to assess corruption levels in
Bulgaria in comparison to EU member states.
Furthermore, Bulgaria’s EU member status demands that national
anti-corruption initiatives are implemented in close coordination with
EU and international efforts in this area. Therefore, corruption would
be most appropriately measured and assessed by a common EU
benchmarking methodology as the most reliable yardstick for international
comparisons.
