The Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) is an international organization created by the Council of Europe in 1999.
The main goal of the organization is to help the participating countries in the fight against corruption. GRECO establishes anti-corruption standards (requirements) for the activities of the state and monitors the compliance of practice with these standards. The group helps to identify shortcomings in national anti-corruption policies and proposes the necessary legislative, institutional or operational measures.
The group consists of 50 states. Membership in GRECO is not limited to Europe, but currently the only non-European country in the group is the United States.

Prime Minister Florin Citu said on Wednesday that a very recent report by the Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) shows that Romania is on the right track and that the current government will no longer abuse justice legislation. The whole report says one very important thing: we are on the right track. The incumbent ruling coalition is on the right track and we must continue the reforms we have begun. First, we have stopped the evil and reversed the negative effects of the reforms initiated in 2017-2019. That is the first thing we have done, we have stopped what happened then. At the moment, we are reforming justice legislation which is being discussed by the coalition. I think we are moving in the right direction, and what I can say is that in this administration, this government will no longer allow justice legislation being abused, and we will no longer see what happened between 2017 and 2019, Citu told a news conference at the Government House.
