GRECO report: Ukraine's progress in implementing anti-corruption recommendations for judges, prosecutors and parliamentarians is noted (report in Ukrainian)

20.02.2025

In the report, GRECO (the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption) assessed the implementation of 16 recommendations that remained unimplemented after the adoption of the Interim Compliance Assessment Report (2023). The full text of the report is available in English, French and Ukrainian, as well as on the official GRECO website.

As part of the 4th assessment round, Ukraine received 31 recommendations.

"GRECO has assessed Ukraine's progress in implementing anti-corruption reforms, which is an important step in strengthening transparency, the rule of law and rapprochement with the EU. GRECO's recommendations remain key in the negotiations with the European Commission on Ukraine's accession to the EU. Despite the challenges, Ukraine demonstrates resilience and commitment to democratic principles and continues to work on the implementation of these recommendations,” said Viktor Pavlushchyk, Head of NACP, Head of the GRECO delegation.

GRECO found that Ukraine has satisfactorily implemented or partially implemented 18 out of 31 recommendations of the 4th round of assessment. There were 11 partially implemented and 2 unimplemented recommendations.

Four recommendations were identified by GRECO as partially implemented:

Recommendation XVII: Judges' evaluation criteria. A draft of the Unified Indicators has been developed and is under consideration by the HCJ.

Recommendation XIX: definition of disciplinary offenses of judges. The HCJ Working Group has prepared a Generalization of the Practice of Consideration of Disciplinary Cases Against Judges by the HCJ and its Disciplinary Bodies.

Recommendation XXIII: increase the number of prosecutors in the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors. The Prosecutor General's Office has prepared a draft law that provides for the revision of the quota of prosecutors among the members of the HQCJ.

Recommendation XXX: Increase the limitation period for initiating disciplinary proceedings against prosecutors and appealing against such decisions. The Office of the Prosecutor General has prepared a draft law that provides for an increase in the limitation period.

In addition, Recommendation IX, according to which Ukraine had to adopt rules that would regulate the relations of MPs with lobbyists and other third parties wishing to influence the legislative process, which was previously assessed as not implemented, has been satisfactorily implemented. The recommendation was considered implemented due to the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the Law of Ukraine “On Lobbying” and the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses on Establishing Liability for Violation of Legislation in the Field of Lobbying”, in the development of which the National Agency was involved.

Two more recommendations were identified by GRECO as implemented:

Recommendation II: proper control over the existing asset declaration requirements - restoration of the NACP's authority to perform financial control functions; development and implementation of a new risk-based approach to the selection and verification of declarations; launch of automated verification of declarations.

Recommendation XV: Reduce the number of bodies involved in the appointment of judges and clarify the powers of the Public Integrity Council - complete the process of appointing members of the High Council of Justice and the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine, and strengthen and appoint the full composition of the PIC.

GRECO did not observe sufficient progress to change the status of implementation of recommendations IV, VI, VII, X, XVIII, XXV, XXVIII (remain partially implemented) and XXVI and XXIX (still not implemented). Currently, 13 recommendations remain unimplemented (IV, VI, VII, X, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XXIII, XXV, XXVI, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX).

GRECO continues to recognize the strong commitment demonstrated by Ukraine to the work of GRECO at an extremely difficult time, during the ongoing aggressive war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

The organization also recognizes that Ukraine continues to operate under martial law and is therefore forced to adjust its priorities.

The next assessment of the implementation of the recommendations is scheduled for 2026.
