Launch of the consultation on the Review of the OECD Anti-Bribery Instruments

The OECD Working Group on Bribery invites public comment on its consultation paper: 

 

Review of the OECD Instruments on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions Ten Years after Adoption

 

Comments are welcome from all stakeholders with expertise in combating the bribery of foreign public officials in international business transactions, including governments, NGOs, trade union associations, private sector organisations, companies involved in international business, the accounting and auditing professions, the legal profession and academics. The overall goal of the consultation is to provide essential input on the Working Group on Bribery’s review of the OECD anti-bribery instruments, with the objective of assessing the effectiveness of those instruments and determining what steps might need to be taken to strengthen them.

 

As an essential part of its review of the OECD anti-bribery instruments, the Working Group on Bribery seeks comments from stakeholders on major issues that have arisen in the course of monitoring implementation of those instruments. These issues are presented in the consultation paper , which provides an introduction on the purpose of the consultation and the procedure for commenting on the consultation paper, and presents the issues in two parts – one part focusing on criminalisation issues and the other part focusing on the detection and prevention of foreign bribery. 

In order for comments to be considered by the OECD Working Group on Bribery, they must be received by 31 March 2008.
