Poland: anti-corruption experts report very low level of compliance with recommendations as “globally unsatisfactory”:
In a follow up assessment published on December 17th 2019 on corruption with respect to members of parliament, judges and prosecutors, the Council of Europe’s Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) determines that Poland has implemented seven of 16 recommendations and only one of six recommendations for a more recent “ad-hoc” procedure addressing specific judicial reforms (2016-2018).
