Goals / Remit
Transparency International is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. It brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world.
Our vision is a world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.
Since its founding in 1993, TI has played a lead role in improving the lives of millions around the world by building momentum for the anti-corruption movement. TI raises awareness and diminishes apathy and tolerance of corruption, and devises and implements practical actions to address it.
Transparency International is a global, politically non-partisan network including more than 100 locally established national chapters and chapters-in-formation. These bodies fight corruption in the national arena in a number of ways. They bring together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. TI’s global network of chapters and contacts also use advocacy campaigns to influence governments to implement anti-corruption reforms.
In addition to the national chapters, Transparency International has an International Secretariat (TI-S) in Berlin. The International Secretariat is an independent association (“eingetragener Verein”) established under German law. The secretariat provides leadership for the movement’s international initiatives, supports chapters and coordinates our regional work through knowledge sharing, advocacy and coalition building.
In collaboration with national chapters, the secretariat produces numerous research, tools and policy positions. It serves as a knowledge centre, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of corruption and new approaches to tackling it.
Transparency International’s relations with the EU Institutions are coordinated by Transparency International EU (the Brussels office of the organisation). TI-EU is an independent AISBL established under Belgian law. It is the mission of TI EU to prevent corruption and promote integrity, transparency and accountability in EU institutions, policies and legislation. It is its objective to create lasting, structural change at the EU level so that government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are characterized by integrity, justice and security.
TI EU works in close cooperation with the TI Secretariat in Berlin and TI national chapters particularly with those 25 chapters located in EU member states. The objective of TI EU is to fulfill the European dimension of the global TI movement – to provide Brussels-based advocacy at the EU level.
By its very nature, corruption is a crosscutting issue that negatively affects citizens. The many facets of corruption exacerbate the exploitation of the poor and underprivileged, and can have serious implications on the right to equality before law, the right to property, the freedom to perform business, fair and just working conditions, fair political representation and participation, and the basic rights to dignity, integrity and personal security. To alleviate these problems, TI EU works to fight corruption and to create an EU in which all citizens can exercise their fundamental rights in full.
In addition to that, EU legislation and policies can have significant impact on the fight against corruption at national level in EU member states and beyond. The work at EU level thus contributes to the fight against corruption in many countries around the world, for example through work on anti-money laundering regulation, development aid, structural funds and by ensuring that the EU Institutions themselves lead by example when it comes to transparency and the prevention of corruption.Main EU files targeted

Transparency International EU coordinates the EU advocacy work of Transparency International. Most interactions with EU decision-makers happen in Brussels with staff members of TI EU. As of March 2017 TI EU has 15 staff members (including interns). Given that TI EU’s work is targeted at the EU institutions we assume that the entire activity of the office falls under the remit of the Transparency Register. Detailed information including portfolios and contact details of TI EU staff can always be found on our website under http://transparency.eu/team/
TI EU also publishes all meetings of its staff members with EU decision-makers here: http://transparency.eu/eu-meetings/
TI EU is supported by an advisory group that was established in December 2015 and which includes the following members: Agnes Batory, Andrew Duff, Gretta Fenner, Dieter Frisch, Monique Goyens, Charles Grant, Robin Hodess, Mario Monti (chair), Reinhard Priebe, Jordi Vaquer and Jon Worth.
The International Secretariat of TI in Berlin leads the global and regional advocacy work of TI and some of the programmes, activities and projects seek to influence the EU Institutions and their decision-making process. This can either be as part of campaigns exclusively aimed at the EU or as part of global or regional activities that aim at a range of actors. As of March 2017 TI-S estimates that the equivalent of 4 people devote about 50% of their time to activities that are covered by the EU Transparency Register.
National chapters of Transparency International on occasion also seek to influence the EU Institutions or their decision-making process and meet for example with members of the European Parliament or Commissioners in their respective member states (without the involvement of TI EU). Following a survey among national chapters we estimate that as of March 2017 the equivalent of 3 people devote about 25% of their time to activities that fall under the remit of the Transparency Register.
This registration seeks to comply with the “single entry principle” and provide relevant information on the EU advocacy activity of Transparency International as a global movement. In that sense we seek to facilitate information gathering and to increase transparency of advocacy information for the general public as much as possible. Therefore we have to gather and combine information from Transparency International’s Secretariat, Transparency International EU and the more than 100 national chapters of Transparency International. All these organisations are separate legal entities and there is no direct legal connection between Transparency International’s Secretariat and national chapters. This registration thus relies on those separate legal entities to provide the relevant information and to keep it updated.

Other financial info
Transparency International as a global movement does not have a single budget. The International Secretariat in Berlin, Transparency International EU in Brussels and the more than 100 national chapters (including 25 in the EU) are all separate legal entities with their own separate budgets and funding sources.
In order to comply with the “single entry principle” and in order to allow the public to get a quick overview of the EU advocacy activities of Transparency International as a global movement we have tried to provide the most meaningful figures by adding up the different budgets of TI affiliate organisations across the world which, from an accounting point of view, are completely separate.
While the total budget provided in this section is the combined budget of the International Secretariat and Transparency International EU in Brussels, the estimated costs attributable to activities covered by the Register include the advocacy activities of the International Secretariat, Transparency International EU and all TI national chapters.
Transparency International is transparent about the sources of its funding. Additional information can always be found on the following websites:
