THE global
fight against corruption has been a priority of the G20 for the past four
years. To take stock of the impact to date and to discuss new approaches
to address this challenge, the OECD and G20 will hold the Fourth Annual High-Level
Conference on Corruption for G20 Governments and Business in Rome on Wednesday
11 June 2014.
Participants will discuss progress in advancing the key elements of the global
anticorruption agenda and the latest challenges facing countries, business and
civil society. Sessions include:
- Digging corruption out of the natural resources sectors: What new avenues for
joint efforts?
- Sweeteners in international contracts: Are "offsets" the new corruption
threat?
- Mechanisms to recognise companies’ compliance efforts: Do they work and can
they be applied in all jurisdictions?
- Tackling facilitation payments and solicitation: Can you say “no”?
Speakers will include: Andrea Orlando, Minister of Justice, Italy; Gabriela Ramos,
Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20, OECD; Emma Marcegaglia, President, ENI;
Drago Kos, Chair of the OECD Working Group on Bribery; Phil Edmands, Managing
Director, Rio Tinto, Australia and Raffaele Cantone, President of the Italian
National Anti-Corruption Authority for Evaluation and Transparency of Public
Administrations.
