What is NIS?
• Holistic approach to analyse the robustness and effectiveness of a country’s institutions in preventing & fighting corruption
• A well-functioning NIS provides effective safeguards against corruption
• When institutions lack of appropriate regulations and unaccountable behaviour, corruption is likely to thrive with negative knock-on effects for equitable growth, sustainable development and social cohesion.
• Strengthening NIS promotes better governance and ultimately contributes to a more just society.

Holistic Analysis of the Pillars of Integrity

European NIS
• Multi-country project findings of 25 NIS assessments carried out across Europe in 2011
• The initiative systematically assesses the anti-corruption systems of 25 European states, and advocates for sustainable and effective reform
• It highlights important trends across the region
• Pointing to the most significant deficiencies and gaps in the national integrity systems
• Shining the light on some promising practices
• Financial support by European Commission DG Home Affairs
![Page 26: Transparency International: Researching Corruption Jana Mittermaier Director, EU Office](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55152d715503465e608b5861/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key strength
• Legal frameworks: Legislation on corruption prevention is relatively well-developed across the region.
• Public expenditure oversight: Supreme audit institutions are generally assessed as strong players in the fight against corruption. Exceptions to this trend include those in Greece, Portugal, Romania and Spain,
• Electoral processes: Electoral processes are generally robust in the region, with electoral management bodies performing well in administering free and fair elections. Exceptions include Bulgaria and Romania, where electoral processes still pose significant problems.
![Page 27: Transparency International: Researching Corruption Jana Mittermaier Director, EU Office](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55152d715503465e608b5861/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Key Weaknesses
1. Political party financing is inadequately regulated across the region
2. Lobbying remains veiled in secrecy
3. Parliaments are not living up to ethical standards
4. Access to information is limited in practice
5. High corruption risks remain in public procurement
6. Protection for whistleblowers is severely lacking
--- Link between business and politics too close
