OECD - Paris, 17 February 2012****
* *
*Russia joins OECD Anti-Bribery Convention*
** **
Russia today took a major step toward
upholding international anti-bribery
standards by depositing its instrument
of accession to the OECD Convention
at a ceremony at the OECD in Paris.****
.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurr?a
received Russia?s instrument of
accession from First Deputy Minister
of Foreign Affairs Denisov and First
Deputy Minister of Justice Fedorov.****
.
Russia will become the 39th Party to
the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention on 17
April 2012, 60 days after the ceremony.****
.
Russia will undergo systematic reviews
of its implementation of its
anti-bribery laws, starting with a
first examination in 2012. This will be
one of 22 reviews the OECD will hold
on a wide range of policy areas to
assess the country?s ability to meet
OECD standards and become a member of
the Organisation.****
.
Bribing a foreign public official has
been illegal in Russia since May
2011. With its legislation in place,
the OECD invited Russia to join the
OECD Working Group on Bribery in
May 2011 before becoming a Party to
the Convention
.

.
The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, which
entered into force in 1999, outlaws
the bribery of foreign public officials
in international business transactions.
Through country monitoring and extensive
peer-led follow-up, the Convention seeks
to ensure that the fight against bribery
is effective, thus creating a level
playing field for fair competition.****
.
The 34 OECD member countries plus
Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria and South
Africa are Parties to the Convention.****
