Abstract
"In 1997 the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) adopted a treaty to address the supply side of cross-border bribery, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Offi cials in International Business Transactions (OECD Convention). This is the fourth progress report on enforcement of the OECD Convention prepared by Transparency International (TI), the global coalition against corruption. TI’s progress reports are intended to provide an annual assessment of enforcement by OECD Convention signatory states. It examines the enforcement performance in 34 of the 37 parties to the Convention (including all G7 countries). The fi rst report issued in March 2005, covered 24 countries; the second in June 2006, covered 31 countries; and the third in July 2007 covered 34 countries. The report is based on information provided by TI national experts in each country who are highly qualifi ed professionals selected by TI national chapters. (Appendix A lists TI experts and their qualifi cations). They responded to a questionnaire (Appendix B), taking into account the views of government offi cials and other knowledgeable persons in their countries. They were aided in their work by the valuable Phase I and Phase II reports prepared by the OECD Working Group on Bribery in the course of its reviews of government compliance with the Convention. The following table lists foreign bribery cases and investigations for the 34 countries covered by the TI report. Section I summarises the conclusions and recommendations of the report. Section II provides an overview of the data on enforcement. Section III covers access to information issues. Section IV summarises the country reports on enforcement systems highlighting defi ciencies and notable recent developments. Section V provides examples of important cases or investigations involving multinational companies, namely Alstom, AWB, BAE Systems, Halliburton, IMPSA & EME, and Siemens."
