Welcome to ERA – Academy of European Law

Year: 2025

Topic

The e-presentation focusses on countering corruption within the EU, emphasising the importance of anti-bribery and corruption compliance. It highlights the significant financial impact of corruption and the perception of its prevalence among European citizens and companies. A dual approach of preventive regulation and criminal enforcement is advocated, noting the absence of preventive legislation in many EU countries but the influence of laws like the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act. The consequences of non-compliance are outlined and the need for a risk-based compliance programme is stressed.

Speaker

Michaël Fernandez-Bertier, Partner, Ethics & Compliance, Brussels; Member of the Board of Directors of Transparency International Belgium, Brussels.
