Summary

Read the Final Statement published by the NCP in 2009: Spanish


In September 2007, the NCP received a request for review from the NGO Centro de Investigación y Prevención de la Criminalidad Económica alleging that a Swedish multinational was breaching the combating bribery and taxation provisions of the Guidelines.

The initial specific instance was concluded in September 2008 due to an alleged breaching in the non-disclosure agreement between the parties. In May 2009 a new submission was made by CIPCE based on alleged new elements which they considered to relate to the specific instance and the alleged breaches. The ANCP encouraged the enterprise reconsider its position and negotiate with the NGO, but they were not willing to do so, arguing that it had lost confidence in the NGO's intentions. Given these circumstances the specific instance is considered concluded as of 26 September 2008.
