At the same time, 22 recommendations were given to Russia regarding further improvement of anti-corruption work, 8 of which concern the work of Members of Parliament, 9 – judges and 5 – prosecutors.
For example, GRECO recommended deputies of the State Duma and members of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to adopt an ethical code and to include in it provisions on receipt of presents and other advantages, making contacts with third persons, involvement in additional activity, etc. Judges and prosecutors were prescribed to draw up a manual concerning the duty of declaring presents received from third persons, including in natural form, as well as to ensure further improvement of regular training on prevention of corruption, ethics and integrity.
