The National Integrity System assessment approach provides a framework to analyse the robustness and effectiveness of a country’s institutions in preventing and fighting corruption. The French integrity system is relatively good, which is mainly due to the long practice of democratic institutions. However, as a general matter, the involvement of institutions in the fight against corruption is low. In spite of symbolic political announcements, this subject is clearly not a political priority.
