Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Polish government adopted a draft bill to create a new Central Anti-Corruption Office (Centralne Biuro Antykorupcyjne). According to Transparency International's 2005 corruption index, Poland is the most corrupt of the 25 countries in the European Union, and ranks 70th internationally, tied with Burkina Faso and Syria.
The created structure is to be an elite body employing about 500 staff. Its tasks would include examining the deputies' and high state officials' declarations of interests. The central anti-corruption office is to have the powers of the police, the tax inspectors, the ABW [Internal Security Agency] and NIK [Central Audit Chamber]. Its employees will be empowered to use bugging and other tradecraft in pursuing corrupt state officials.
