Abstract
"This is the third progress report on the enforcement of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials prepared by Transparency International (TI), the global coalition against corruption. It examines the enforcement performance of 34 of the 37 countries that have ratified the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.The first report was issued in March 2005, covering 24 countries; the second in June 2006, covering 31 countries.TI's progress reports are intended to provide an annual assessment of government enforcement.Enforcement of the OECD Convention is crucially important to the fight against international corruption.Most major multinational companies have their headquarters in signatory states and effective enforcement would significantly reduce the supply side of international corruption. The report is based on information provided by TI national experts in each country, who are highly qualified professionals selected by TI national chapters (Appendix A lists TI experts and their qualifications.) They responded to a questionnaire (Appendix B), after consulting with government officials and other knowledgeable persons in their country. They were aided in their work by the valuable Phase I and Phase II country reports prepared by the OECD Working Group on Bribery in the course of its reviews of government compliance with the convention.1 There are three new countries (Brazil, Chile and Slovenia) covered in this report that were not included last year. The following table lists foreign bribery prosecutions and investigations for the 34 participating countries.Section I summarises the key findings and recommendations of the TI report.Section II analyses data on national enforcement. Section III assesses factors affecting enforcement. Section IV provides examples of cases involving multinational companies; these examples are included for the first time this year.Section V provides TI's recommendations for increasing enforcement.
