<title><![CDATA[Regrettably low awareness in the private sector is an obstacle to the fight against foreign bribery in the Czech Republic]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The Czech government must urgently engage with the private sector to raise awareness, says a new OECD report. The awareness of the Czech foreign bribery offence remains regrettably low among companies, despite the recent adoption of a comprehensive corporate liability regime that holds Czech companies liable for this crime. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Denmark must investigate foreign bribery more proactively]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Denmark’s enforcement of its foreign bribery laws has been weak. Only 13 foreign bribery allegations have surfaced, and sanctions have been imposed in just one case that falls under the Convention. Law enforcement authorities have not been sufficiently proactive, and cases have been prematurely closed without complete investigations. Denmark must take more investigative steps and make greater efforts to gather evidence from abroad.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[OECD seriously concerned by absence of foreign bribery convictions in Spain]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Spain’s enforcement of its foreign bribery laws has been extremely low, with not a single prosecution out of only seven investigations in 13 years since joining the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. Spain must vigorously pursue foreign bribery allegations and strengthen its legal framework for fighting bribery by addressing gaps in its Penal Code, says a new OECD report. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Austria’s enforcement of foreign bribery laws far too weak, but could pick up soon says OECD]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The OECD Working Group on Bribery regrets that Austria has not had a conviction of bribing foreign public officials despite a number of allegations, 13 years after ratifying the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. However, enforcement appears to be picking up, with one case being tried, two more cases soon to be tried, and four ongoing investigations. ]]></description>
