Through its annual Rule of Law Report, the Commission monitors developments in all Member States, related to the anti-corruption framework.
The Commission is engaging with all Member States, including Spain, on the follow up given to the 2024 Report’s recommendations and will report on developments in its next Rule of Law Report.
Upholding the rule of law across the EU is a priority for the Commission, as reflected by the President’s Political Guidelines. The Commission envisages further measures to ensure that the future long-term budget has strong anti-corruption safeguards applying to all funds, and that European funding is dedicated to supporting national measures on fighting corruption and protecting the financial interests of both the EU and its Member States.
Furthermore, legislative negotiations are ongoing on a Commission proposal for a directive on combating corruption[1], which aims to strengthen the fight against and prevention of corruption in the EU.
