Public-Owned Enterprises (POEs) are generally large economic enterprises owned and governed by state institutions. POEs generally are the sole or the main provider of the key public goods and services as water, electricity, transport, telecommunications, and postal services. If administered efficiently, the POEs are important for national development and perspective of natural economic resources. The concern is how accurately these monopolistic enterprises are organized in aspects of administrative and managerial perspectives to function as effectively as possible for the objectives they are created. Therefore an overall summary of the public-owned enterprises is presented through their process of emerging, privatization, and evolution in Albania, southeast Europe. The process was accompanied by shortcomings due to its ad-hoc nature; and associated with negative effects of bad management, governance corruption, and low efficiency of the operational activities and results.

Public owned enterprises (POEs) are important to the daily lives of citizens. As they provide employment as well as services of general economic interest. Nevertheless, researchers also indicate negative side effects like undermining political control, accountability or public ethics. Fully public or partly privatized POEs have to balance the interests of society for service provision and the economic interests of shareholders. The paper gives an overview about accountability and transparency policies in Austrian Public Owned Enterprises.

Private sector leads the production and distribution process in many countries. However, Public Owned Enterprises (POEs) are also an important element of many developing and developed economies in this context. This analysis examines the main legal organisation forms of public owned enterprises and their financial performance. It also briefly analyses the national legislation and regulation on corruption prevention mechanisms and policy measures and anticorruption practices in public owned enterprises. Almost half of public owned enterprises in North Macedonia are working with losses and have the highest maturity and unpaid liabilities in the last five years. Public owned enterprises can either contribute or obstruct the competitiveness of the economy depending on their efficiency and productivity. This sector needs to be transparent to provide competing enterprises with a fair overview of the fundamental market conditions.

The second Chapter gives an overview of the main analytical approaches adopted in the rest of the analysis, providing also a brief historical reconstruction of the role of Public Owned Enterprises (POEs). The examination shows how, within a general pathway characterized by several stops and goes and changes of course, POEs have more recently become a widespread and specific way to manage public functions with respect to both internal management and full outsourcing. This phenomenon, often called satellizzation or corporatization, has thus attracted increasing interest by scientific studies, emphasizing at the same time positive aspects and pitfalls. Furthermore, the peculiarities of the links and inter-relationships among POEs, governance and corruption are presented, focusing on the guidelines and operative instructions elaborated by many international organizations and institutions to enhance anticorruption and integrity in POEs.

The Portuguese State continues to hold a significant amount of public companies which, in turn, are responsible for important values for the Portuguese economy. This work analyzes the evolution of the Portuguese State as owner or manager of companies in the national economy. Additionally, this work also focuses on the evolution of the strategies developed by Portugal to identify and fight corruption cases involving public companies. The respective legislation has had more frequent contributions in the last 20 years. There was also a stimulus to fight corruption on a European scale, which motivated the Portuguese State to fight a more incisive fight against a problem that also attacks public companies themselves. This work will also reflect that when there is corruption in the universe of public companies – the resulting distortions are also, in turn, increased.

The hybrid nature of Public Owned Enterprises (POEs) presents opportunities, difficulties, and challenges. This paper focuses on the implementation of transparency, anti-corruption and accountability in POE in Spain. Spain is one of the European countries with lower importance of public owned enterprises. However, the privatisation process has been intense in Spain and it is accompanied by a parallel process of development of public enterprises at the regional and local levels. The analysis shows the need to improve the compliance of anti-corruption, transparency, and accountability measures by public enterprises in Spain. The mere existence of laws on this field is not enough to prevent corruption. The main risks and problems identified concern the political influence, the lack of professional management, the contracting procedures, and the confusion between the public and private sphere.

The third Chapter depicts the interconnections between the two themes (bribery and anti-corruption policies, on the one hand, and the role of public controlled entities, on the other) in the Italian case. Italy turns out to be an interesting case study because, on the one hand, it is among the worst performing countries in the G7 and the EU members in terms of corruption and, on the other, it has experienced a strongly proliferation of Public Owned Enterprises (POEs) during the last two or three decades, involving nearly all activity sectors of the economy. This process is deemed to have weakened the chain of control on shared units, delegating relevant financial and political decisions to a milieu of ambiguity and uncertain accountability (the ‘escape’ argument). A progressive change of direction occurred more recently, when corporatized public enterprises have been submitted to specific and increasing limits, including transparency and anti-corruption policies. The anticorruption package, adopted in Italy starting with 2012, has promoted important steps in this direction, yet the effects of these new measures have not been resolutive, and many challenges are still open.
