 09.05.2012 European nations are not doing enough to fight corruption and bribery, according to an annual report released on Wednesday (9 May) by the Council of Europe (CoE). In the EU alone, corruption costs an estimated €120 billion annually.
The CoE's group of states against corruption (Greco), which acts as a peer review system producing reports and recommendations on different aspects of each member's efforts to fight corruption, says members need to increase transparency of political funding.
In April, Greco requested Italy to clean up its act, citing a gross lack of transparency throughout its party funding structure.

|
|
21.02.2012 We have the pleasure to present you our third edition of the electronic publication "AUDEO." The content of this issue is dedicated to the connection of the Republic of Macedonia and the interests of monopolies, which is evident and against the constitutional provisions, through the back of the citizens and contrary to their interests.
Recently the showdown of the affair "Telecom" started, which according to what Magyar Telekom agreed with in the USA, from 2005 to 2007 the monopoly of Magyar Telekom was extended and agreed with officials from the Government of the Republic of Macedonia.
The analysis and the conclusions obtained by TI-Macedonia for the actions of relevant authorities in the USA and the Republic of Macedonia are in front of you. The Findings from the analysis that show the scope and manner of coverage on this topic in the media in terms of investigative journalism are also an integral part of this publication.
Additionally, the conclusion that the monopoles want to reach to the most basic needs of the citizens, health and communication, can be also seen in the position of the Health Insurance Fund of Macedonia (HIF), which is yet to be dimensioned with changes in health legislation.

The fog that covers case Telekom suits them all |

17.02.2012 The institutions for persecution are not interested in resolving the bribery affair with Telekom, said Slagjana Taseva, the President of “Transparency International - Macedonia” on the round table that was held in Skopje. Few weeks ago, this nongovernmental organization has offered analyses of the affair and discovered that the Greek multimillionaire Dimitris Kontominas was involved in the bribery of the Macedonian politicians from the coalition between SDSM and DUI.
– We expected that what we offered would be developed and used for deeper research about what happened from 2000 onwards, from the privatization of one monopoly, which after its transformation continued to be a monopoly. That means that someone was having a concern for everything but not for the interests of the citizens. The institutions are not having pressure by anyone so they can seek the culprits of the affair and the question is will we agree that it should stay like this? – said Taseva and emphasized the situation is interesting because after the published findings, neither one political party declared to discredit them, as it is usually the case.
