Comment

According to the new rules, grounds for initiating the monitoring are random selection by the Unified Declaration Electronic System or a reasoned written application which can be made by any person,61 in line with the relevant government decree. In addition, declarations by top-level officials exposed to high risks of corruption – including MPs – are verified on a regular basis. The Civil Service Bureau notifies the respective official of the initiation of the monitoring and allows a period of 10 working days for the submission by the official of information and documents (including those issued by banks and/or other credit institutions) necessary for the monitoring, and his/her personal opinion. Declarations are monitored based on the principle of confidentiality. The results62 are to be proactively published at the end of each calendar year.
