Contexte |
Six years after Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union, the country still suffers from high levels of corruption and organized crime. The European Union continues to monitor Bulgaria’s progress in these two areas through the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM). The Bulgarian public largely perceives the CVM as a key instrument for progress. Although Bulgaria has made continuous progress in the fight against corruption and organized crime, the level of corruption victimization remains high. According to the latest Eurobarometer survey on corruption in the EU-27, in 2011 every fourth Bulgarian has been asked to pay a bribe within the last 12 months. This is among the top five corruption pressure levels in EU. Comparable research confirms that 25% of Bulgarians who were in contact with the public administration paid a bribe in 2011. |
