The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Report on the Greek Economy 2020 entitled "Recovering from COVID-19, Boosting Productivity, Improving Inclusion", published on 22 July 2020, assesses the establishment of the NTA, as well as other reforms aimed at reducing corruption, as undoubtedly effective.
The report examines the challenges facing the country, assesses the short-term outlook, provides statistical information presented in charts and graphs, and makes specific recommendations. It also highlights the progress made by the country in the fight against corruption, including the steps taken to develop sectoral strategies in areas at high risk of corruption (public works, environment, shipping, defence, public procurement and health).
At the technical seminar organised by the OECD and the Council of Economic Experts (CEE) on 23 July, the NTA informed the attendees about the initiatives and actions it has already taken in response to the recommendations regarding the enhancement of the AFCOS office to combat fraud against the financial interests of the European Union, the regulation of lobbying activities, the regulation of the activities of the European Union and the regulation of the activities of the European Commission. The Commission has already proposed a number of recommendations concerning the regulation of lobbying activities and the incorporation of the Directive on the whistleblowers’ protection. This is with a view to establishing a robust legal and institutional framework to combat corruption.
