She said «Transparency International», an organization involved in combating corruption, the corruption problem facing all economies, and requires that the leader in the European Union and the United States financial centers in collaboration with the fast-growing economies in order to prevent impunity of corrupt from the consequences of their actions.
In the twentieth edition of the «Corruption Perceptions Index», indicated degrees of China (36 to 100 degrees) and Turkey (45 degrees) and Angola (19 degrees), that these countries are among the biggest losers on the index by 4 to 5 degrees, while the average Economic growth of more than 4 per cent in these countries over the past four years. In a statement issued by the organization's headquarters in Berlin and received a «Middle East» copy of it, Jose Ugaz head of «Transparency International» said: «2014 that economic growth undermined Corruption Perceptions Index shows, and stop corruption efforts fall when the leaders and senior officials of misuse of public funds to achieve personal gain. » He added: «The corrupt officials of smuggling funds collected illegally to safety in companies outside the territory of their countries with total impunity». He continued: «States must which came in the bottom of the index to adopt radical measures to combat corruption in order to achieve the interests of their people. States must at the top of the index that is working to ensure that the export of corrupt practices related to the low rates of development countries ». Degrees were more than two-thirds of 175 countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2014 under 50 degrees, where the minimum «class 0» (imagine that there is corruption adults) and senior class 100 (imagine the existence of a very clean).
Improved and deteriorated several countries degrees by 4 degrees or more. The largest declines were in Turkey (-5), Angola, China, Malawi, Rwanda (-4 all). Greater improvement in scores was in the Ivory Coast, Egypt, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (+5), and Afghanistan, Jordan, Mali, Swaziland (+4).
The Corruption Perceptions Index is based on the views of experts on public sector corruption. Could be improved grades countries through government openness, where the public can hold leaders accountable, while modest grades indicate an outbreak of bribery and a lack of punishment for corruption, and lack of public institutions in response to the needs of citizens.
Under the title «corruption in emerging economies» According to the report: «degree China dropped to 36 degrees in 2014 after it had been 40 in 2013, despite the launch of the Chinese government's anti-corruption campaign targeting the public sector corrupt officials». The Chinese government has recognized the need to prosecute officials who hide material gains achieved baseball illegally abroad. In January (January) last leaked documents revealed the presence of 22 thousand clients in banks outside the country from China, Hong Kong, including many of the country's leaders. This class simulates the modest performance of Chinese companies, as stated in the recent Transparency International report, revealed about corporate information practices, where all incoming Chinese companies registered in less than 3 degrees from 10 report.
Corruption and money laundering as well as longer a problem to other countries of the countries «Brix». This year has seen exciting questions about the use of a major oil company secret companies in bribe politicians in Brazil (which recorded 43 points), and questions about the use of the citizens of India (38) bank accounts in Mauritius (54), and Russian citizens (27) doing the same thing in Cyprus (63). Ugaz said: «grand corruption in large economies not only lead to the withholding of basic human rights for the poorest citizens, but also create problems in governance and instability. Fast-growing economies, which refuses to be transparent and governments tolerate corruption, to create a culture of impunity, which bottomed out in the shadow of corruption ».
She called «Transparency International» countries that tops the index, in terms of corruption in the government sector is very limited, because the stop encouraging corruption outside its territory through further efforts to prevent money laundering and to prevent companies from secret hide corruption. While Denmark, which topped the index enjoying the rule of law in force, and support civil society and work rules clean governing the behavior of those who hold public office; has provided an example also emulated in November (last November), when it announced plans to create a public record contains information about actual owners of all registered companies in Denmark. This procedure - similar to similar announcements made by Ukraine and the United Kingdom - will be difficult for the corrupt to hide behind companies registered under the names of other people.
And manages «Transparency International» offline campaign for the detection of corrupt, the European Union and the United States and the Group of Twenty calls to follow the Danish model, and that is of public records shows from them effective control of the companies, and their owners are beneficiaries. The Managing Director of «Transparency International» Cobos Desfardt: «does not travel any of us on board the aircraft are not recorded passengers, but at the same time allow companies to hide the secret illegal activities. The public records that show the actual owners of the companies is difficult to escape the corrupt gains abuse their use of power. »
