BRUSSELS, April 2 -- China is making a good start at carrying out the international anti-corruption cooperation, an European Union (EU) expert told Xinhua recently.

"There has to be a global effort as criminals can move money around easily," Fraser Cameron, Director of Brussels-based think tank EU-Asia Center, said.

Noting that there had been "only general discussions" between the EU and China in the cooperation on anti-corruption, Cameron said the EU can cooperate with China through Europol and Interpol as well as the anti-corruption initiative of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Cameron said the EU has always stressed anti-corruption in its relations with neighbors. But it is a difficult issue and some EU member states are still struggling to deal with corruption.

Last year, China finished negotiations on extradition or administrative judicial treaties with 10 countries including France, Spain, Britain and Italy.

Chinese authorities are taking measures to strengthen cooperation with the international community to fight corruption following the recently launched anti-graft campaign "Sky Net," aimed at capturing fugitives overseas implicated in economic crimes.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, the new party leadership has always adhered to a zero-tolerance stance against corruption, taking tough measures to curb the spread of this criminal act at home and chase fugitives and illegal assets abroad.

In 2013, 762 people suspected of criminality in taking advantage of their positions of power were brought back to China from abroad, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
