flag Romania grants real-time access to EU anti-corruption agencies for its EU project database to combat fraud.

flag Romania has granted EU and national anti-corruption agencies real-time access to its MySMIS database, which tracks EU-funded projects, enhancing transparency and enabling faster investigations into fraud. flag The move, announced on February 9, 2026, follows a stagnant corruption perception score of 45 in the 2025 Transparency International index, placing Romania among the EU’s lowest-ranked nations alongside Bulgaria and Hungary. flag Despite the EU adopting a new Anti-Corruption Directive in December 2025, experts note it lacks strong enforcement measures. flag Romania’s ability to improve its score to at least 50 by 2030 depends on broad, non-partisan reforms and institutional cooperation.
