Ukraine is the most corrupted country of Europe, according to experts of the European Court of Auditors (ECA).

“EU support for Ukraine remains a work in progress, despite good efforts by the Commission. At the time of our audit, there was a strong political commitment to public administration reform. But management changes jeopardised the reforms and low salaries created openings for corruption. Further steps are needed to meet objectives”,  Member of the European Court of Auditors responsible for the report Szabolcs Fazakas said.

EU assistance to Ukraine had limited impact and, despite the impetus for reform since then, the results achieved so far remain fragile, according to a new report from the European Court of Auditors.
