Abstract
"This is the sixth annual Progress Report on Enforcement of the OECD Convention prepared by Transparency International (TI), the global coalition against corruption. The OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Offi cials in International Business Transactions, adopted in 1997, required each party to make foreign bribery a crime. The Convention was hailed as key to overcoming the damaging effects of foreign bribery on democratic institutions, development programmes and business competition. The Convention now has 38 parties and is administered by the OECD Working Group on Bribery, which meets fi ve times annually. The Working Group conducts a country review process under which representatives of two governments and the secretariat visit each member country. The review process is now entering its third phase. The fi rst phase reviewed the laws passed by each country to implement the Convention. The second phase looked at institutions, policies and practices for enforcing the prohibition on foreign bribery. The third phase focuses primarily on enforcement and steps taken by countries to follow up on recommendations in prior reviews. The countries covered by the OECD Convention are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea (South), Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States.
