What to Know About EU’s Directive on Combating Corruption

Consider writing about:

The Directive on Combating Corruption, adopted by the Council of the European Union on April 21; what to know about the council’s role and authority; the scope of the directive, its key focus areas, and to whom it applies; when the directive takes effect; how impacted companies can best prepare for the directive’s compliance obligations; and perhaps a look at how the directive compares to other jurisdiction’s anti-corruption mechanisms, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
