The presentation discusses perspectives on corruption from Italy and the EU and the role of businesses and associations in preventing corruption.

Trust
between
the
government
and
the
private
sector
• Governments
don‘t
trust
companies
at
all.
• Companies
trust
their
governments
even
less.
Consequences
• Strong
orientation
of
governments
towards
the
enforcement
• Tendency
for
excessive
monitoring
• Sanctions
for
non-­‐existing
or
weak
compliance
systems
• Absolute
lack
of
positive
rewarding
for
effective
compliance
systems
• No
real
will
for
cooperation
