\t\u00abOfficials from signatory countries to the convention which outlaws bribery of foreign public officials in international business transactions meet behind closed doors on Thursday for a regular review of operations.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe meeting provides an opportunity for them to quiz each other on what is working and what is not, the head of the convention’s supervisory committee Mark Pieth, said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbPieth said the meeting was not dedicated to any one case but would allow envoys to engage in frank exchanges. The OECD, in charge of ensuring adherence, voiced concerns about Britain in March and would send a team to the country for on-site discussions between now and March 2008, Pieth said. We will continuously monitor, he said, adding the main issue was whether there were systemic hurdles to investigations and prosecutions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbPrivately, other officials say the OECD wants to allow low-profile pressure to apply, after raising a red flag in March, much to London’s irritation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSouth Africa became the first African country to sign up to the OECD’s anti-bribery convention on Tuesday, vowing to do all it could to combat the scourge of corruption. We take our obligations very seriously, said South African public prosecutor Vusi Pikoli.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCette r\u00e9union a mis en \u00e9vidence une situation qui commence \u00e0 se dessiner, qui pourrait \u00eatre extr\u00eamement dangereuse pour BAE. On a quelques indications \u00e0 ce propos avec les d\u00e9clarations du pr\u00e9sident de Transparency international (d’ob\u00e9dience US), rapport\u00e9es par Reuters :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abTransparency International, a non-governmental organization which lobbies against bribery, said in a statement last week London risked undermining the anti-corruption convention.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIt is crucial for the future of the OECD anti-corruption convention that the facts concerning UK government contracts with the government of Saudi Arabia, and BAE Systems’ involvement, be publicly revealed, said Cobus de Swardt, managing director of Transparency International.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEn effet, le cas BAE-Yamamah<\/em> est devenu si central, si obs\u00e9dant, si consid\u00e9rable, qu’il commence \u00e0 ressembler \u00e0 un test crucial de cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 pour l’OCDE et sa convention. Si rien n’est fait contre BAE, quel cr\u00e9dit aurait cette convention? Quelle consid\u00e9ration m\u00e9diatique pourrait-on lui accorder? Comment pourrait-on prendre au s\u00e9rieux les efforts anti-corruption de l’OCDE, et croire \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de l’engagement dans ce sens des pays signataire? Comment pourrait-on croire, enfin, \u00e0 la vertu du monde occidentalis\u00e9? En d’autres termes, en plus d’\u00eatre sans doute responsable et peut-\u00eatre coupable, BAE risque de devenir le bouc-\u00e9missaire r\u00eav\u00e9 et la victime expiatoire n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 la bonne r\u00e9putation de l’OCDE, des pays signataires et du syst\u00e8me lui-m\u00eame, dans leur volont\u00e9 commune et m\u00e9diatiquement affich\u00e9e d’\u00e9radiquer la corruption.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa bonne r\u00e9putation de l’OCDE, des pays signataires et du syst\u00e8me contre l’immunit\u00e9 pour BAE? Cette fois<\/a>, les Britanniques pourraient ne pas faire le poids. Peut-\u00eatre le professeur Pieth, le Maigret de l’OCDE en l’occurrence, sera-t-il autoris\u00e9, et m\u00eame pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 aller jusqu’au bout.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
