Transparency International report: Romania and Bulgaria remain most corrupt EU countries
A regional analysis of how corruption is perceived says that EU accession is not an automatic remedy for corruption, as shown by the sharp fall of Bulgaria from a 4.1 index in 2007 to 3.6 in 2008.
Romania's index is 3.8. From 2004 to 2007, Romania was named most corrupted EU candidate/member country.
The world index covers 180 countries and puts Romania 70th, with Bulgaria on 72nd place.
