Corruption is estimated to cost the European Union between EUR 179 billion 
and EUR 990 billion per year, amounting to up to 6% of its GDP.

70% of Europeans believe that corruption is widespread in their countries 
- an increase of 2 points compared to 2022 (2023 Corruption Eurobarometer 
Survey).

35% of EU businesses consider corruption to be a problem in doing 
business, (2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards 
corruption).

59% of EU business agree with the statement that bribery and the use of 
connections is often the easiest way to obtain certain public services, 
(2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards corruption).

If it's a government, it's corrupt. Sadly sometimes a more corrupt 
government functions better than a less corrupt government.
