Paragraph 6

6. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to use the Commission’s annual rule of law reports to resolutely fight against systemic corruption and devise effective instruments for preventing, combating and sanctioning corruption and fighting fraud, as well as for regularly monitoring the use of public funds, including recovery and resilience facility funds.

Organised crime groups are currently earning huge amounts of money from the trade in counterfeit medicines, vaccines, other medical equipment and false certificates.
