    against Corruption (GRECO) has published today its Joint First
    and Second Round Evaluation Report on Turkey, which joined GRECO
    in 2004. The report focuses on general anti-corruption policies,
    specialization of law enforcement bodies in fighting corruption,
    independence of the judiciary, immunity from prosecution for
    corruption offences, the deprivation of benefits drawn from corrupt
    acts, measures to counter corruption in public administration and
    the prevention of legal persons - such as commercial companies -
    from being used as shields for corruption.

    GRECO addresses 21 recommendations to Turkey. They aim at improving
    the implementation of the overall anti-corruption policies. Moreover,
    it is recommended to consider reforming the system of administrative
    investigation, which may be subject to political influence, and to
    reduce the number of categories of public officials who benefit from
    immunities. It is also recommended that an Ombudsman institution be
    established and that the independence of recent bodies, such as the
    Ethics. GRECO will monitor the implementation of the recommendations to
    Turkey towards the end of 2007, reports the Communications Directorate
    of the Council of Europe.
