1 Big Government, Small Government and Corruption: an European Perspective Alina Mungiu-Pippidi Hertie School of Governance
2 Outline of this talk What is corruption in Europe? Big govt versus small govt impact Some illustrative national examples: Hungary and Romania Consequences of corruption on public spending and EU funds What lessons learned?
3 What is corruption? Abuse of PUBLIC authority resulting in undue PRIVATE profit Any favoritism of public resources allocation (other than by law for special categories) from the part of a public authority is corrupt as it infringes the norm of equal treatment and entails the discrimination of somebody (UNCAC) Any discretionary spending with the goal to bring advantage to companies, parties or individuals in the virtue of particular ties to government should be ranked as corrupt

16 HU: Political cycles and market structure Change in market shares of large companies (EU funded construction, ) elections Source: MaKAB, Note: market share=total value of contracts won / total value of contracts won in EU funded construction in time t At least 25-30% of EU funded construction spending is likely to be driven directly by politics This pattern reappears on the whole public procurement market too, albeit it is especially strong for EU funded projects
17 What explains variation across EU countries? Our model OPPORTUNITIES Administrative discretion + Material resources CONSTRAINTS Legal + Normative Corruption Control of corruption Control of corruption= capacity of a society to keep corruption the exception =
18 Our model OPPORTUNITIES Red tape Lack of transparency Large pool of public jobs Large amounts of discretionary funds = govt investment, natural resources CONSTRAINTS Well-performing judiciary Good audit Independent media Active civil society Demanding voters Corruption Control of corruption
19 What is not significant and should not be expected to in the medium term Uniformity: Control of corruption in Europe is achieved in a variety of ways and we should not aim for institutional uniformity Silver bullets: Countries which have adopted Judicial Councils, anticorruption agencies, restrictive party financing have not progressed more as yet Judicial anticorruption where rule of law is weak Unenforced legislation; current huge implementation Gap (between legislation and practice) has gone thru the roof in Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo Global Integrity Report (30-60%) enforcement rather than new legislation is needed, monitoring, etc

21 What to do: reduce resources and opportunities - What kind of austerity? - Cut red tape to reduce administrative discretion (time to import, export, pay taxes and so on) - Streamline regulation to reduce informality - Increase electronic access to all public services and foster more Internet access, usage - Increase transparency, especially fiscal transparency (online expense tracking systems become fast best practice) - Far more transparency needed for EU funds - Publish all affiliations, relations (lobby registers) accounts of officials to prevent conflict of interest, fiscal evasion and corruption Cyprus Estonia Hungary Lithuania Bulgaria Czech Republic Greece Latvia Poland Italy Romania
22 What to do: Increase constraints, but not just legal constraints Italy Portugal Slovakia Slovenia Spain Bulgaria Czech Republic Greece Latvia Poland Romania - Protect media from capture (transparency of ownership, govt advertising) - Protect and encourage civil society and Internet media watchdogs - Adopt social accountability designs to protect EU funds (involve local stakeholders and consumers in the planning and monitoring of EU funds) - Monitor judicial capacity - Develop further audit and monitoring capacity
