A new code of ethics for members of the government, banning ministers and their relatives and friends from engaging in business practices that could be deemed as creating a clash of interests, has been drawn up.

The set of guidelines is one of the prior actions Greece has to complete to qualify for further bailout funding and was published in the Government Gazette on Tuesday.

Greece’s anti-graft supremo claims in an interview with Sunday’s Kathimerini that a lack of funding is hampering efforts to fight corruption and that if this is not addressed he will start publicly naming the people who are failing to fulfill their duties.
