Description: EU anti-corruption laws have for many years been regarded as less stringent than the US FCPA. This dichotomy has led observers to conclude that European multinationals operate[d] under different, less burdensome rules than their US counterparts.
Times are, however, changing. EU law enforcement authorities and lawmakers have recently taken more vigorous actions to implement their national anti-corruption laws and their obligations under the OECD Anti-Corruption Treaty. EU legislatures have enacted a spate of legislative changes over the past decade, with further reform likely. At the same time EU regulators have become more pro-active and aggressive as evidenced by a number of ongoing investigations, including the recent massive settlement involving Siemens. Moreover, as the Siemens case also demonstrates, EU enforcement authorities are coordinating their activities more frequently with the US Department of Justice.
This webcast, featuring anti-corruption lawyers from both sides of the Atlantic, will present an overview of the US FCPA and the corresponding EU anti-corruption laws, with additional focus on developments in the UK. It will then examine the interplay between US and EU enforcement efforts, as well as discuss the emerging trend of multi-jurisdictional investigations. The webcast is geared for both lawyers and compliance personnel at EU corporations, as well as US multinationals operating in the EU.
