Slovenia has, however, implemented 57% of these recommendations and is among the CoE countries with the highest share of implemented recommendations. The only country to implement all recommendations from GRECO is Finland.
By the end of 2017, Slovenia partially implemented 75% of the recommendations related to MPs (reporting about assets, restrictions of business activities, transparency of communication with lobbyists and management of conflict of interest), which was above the CoE average of 70%.
Together with eleven other CoE members, Slovenia is in the group of countries which failed to fully implement a single recommendation related to fight against corruption among MPs, the report says.
Slovenia meanwhile fully implemented 75% of the recommendations related to the employment and promotion of judges and their code of conduct, which is above the CoE average of 42.6%, while 12.5% were partially implemented and just as many not implemented.
When it comes to recommendations for prosecutors, Slovenia fully implemented two-thirds of these recommendations, and one-third was partially implemented, according to the report. This is above the CoE average of 54%.
The report says that new legislative initiatives in some European countries last year cancelled out the past reforms for strengthening of the prevention of corruption or triggered reforms which could result in violations of the anti-corruption standards of the CoE.
GRECO has noticed progress in general in MPs, judges and prosecutors in introducing new measures for fighting corruption, but their realisation in practice remains slower that the organisation would like it to be.
