The Global Forum carries out peer reviews to assess the implementation of the standard of exchange of information on request (EOIR) and rates the jurisdictions’ compliance. Four distinct ratings can be allocated to a jurisdiction once it has undergone a full peer review:
Compliant: The EOIR standard is implemented. This rating can be granted even if a few recommendations were issued, to the extent that no material deficiencies were identified.
Largely Compliant: The EOIR standard is implemented to a large extent, but improvements are needed. Some deficiencies identified are material but have limited impact on EOIR.
Partially Compliant: The EOIR standard is only partly implemented. At least one material deficiency which has had, or is likely to have, a significant effect on EOIR in practice has been identified.
Non-Compliant: Fundamental deficiencies in the implementation of the EOIR standard have been identified.
The implementation of the EOIR standard has been swift and global, with only a few jurisdictions having fallen short in meeting the commitments made to the Global Forum. They are provided with support to advance their regulatory environment and practices. 126 jurisdictions have been fully reviewed in the second round of EOIR peer reviews and the ratings assigned are generally very good: 89% received a satisfactory overall rating (“Compliant” or “Largely Compliant”), while 9.5% have been assessed as "Partially Compliant" and only 1.5% as "Non-Compliant".
