Description
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.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
