  3. Added value at European level • Simultaneous assessment in almost all EU member states • Comprehensive review of integrity systems across the EU • Identification & use of best practices in the field of anti-corruption • Common, EU-wide trend analysis => potential collective action by all EU member states • Ergo: • Gathering of a tremendous amount of evidence on existing AC mechanisms • Generating a momentum among primary AC actors for the collective task of preventing financial & economic crime across the EU
