Mr President, corruption is a serious problem in modern democratic society. Although the European Union has made great efforts to create measures and legislation to counter this adverse phenomenon, several Member States have been dragging their feet in their implementation. At a time when the representatives of the Fair Play Alliance confirmed that European anti-corruption legislation meets the required parameters, it is important to expend some effort on the promotion of its application. We must therefore focus more on the monitoring mechanisms of independent experts and civic organisations so that that their work might contribute to the uncovering of alleged corruption and the better application of existing regulations. We should also strive to accelerate the investigation process and provide better protection for whistle-blowers. It would also be good to harmonise penalties for corruption carried out by foreign nationals across the EU. I firmly believe that it is only through peaceful, patient and systematic work that we can be successful in this endeavour."@en1
