Fight Corruption in Europe
About us
The Anti-Corruption Intergroup is a cross-party initiative of 129 Members of the European Parliament, headed by a cross-party bureau. We have established this Intergroup because we believe that the fight against corruption is not a fight that single actors can win. Through joining our forces, we want to bring together expertise and conduct joint political initiatives aimed at eliminating corruption in the EU. We want the EU to step up its fight against corruption and fraud not only in its Member States but also work to make EU institutions more transparent and accountable.
