In 2019, the OECD Working Group on Bribery launched its fourth phase of monitoring the implementation of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention in the Netherlands.
Call for written submissionsTo assist this evaluation process, the OECD calls for interested parties to provide written submissions on the evaluated countries. All submissions received will be shared with the OECD Working Group on Bribery and used to inform the evaluation process, including the on-site visit. The OECD will publish these submissions on its website only with the evaluated country’s agreement. Email your submission by 9 December 2019 with your complete contact information to Thea.CHUBINIDZE@oecd.org.
Participation in on-site visitOn 10-14 February 2020, an evaluation team representing the OECD Working Group on Bribery will visit The Hague, Netherlands. The team is made up of experts from two OECD Working Group on Bribery countries plus staff from the OECD Secretariat. The OECD Working Group on Bribery calls for interested parties from the private sector, civil society, academia, media, and others to express interest in participating in the on-site visit. On-site visits by the evaluation team are an effective way to obtain information on a country’s implementation of the Anti-Bribery Convention, including levels of enforcement of the foreign bribery offence. Each on-site visit includes panels with non-government representatives to obtain their views on awareness, implementation, and enforcement. Email your request to participate by 9 December 2019 with your complete contact information to Thea.CHUBINIDZE@oecd.org. The OECD Secretariat will share these requests with the Dutch authorities. It will remain at the authorities’ discretion which parties are invited to participate in the on-site visit, and whether or not government representatives remain present throughout these sessions.
