Akin Gump Alert Template
FCPA/Antibribery Alert January 29, 2015 New Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Law Takes Effect Establishing a Public Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Bureau On January 25, 2015, a new anti-corruption law took effect in Ukraine as part of a comprehensive legislative initiative targeting corruption among government employees, public officials and private legal entities, and strengthening the country’s previous anti-corruption regulations. The package of anti- corruption legislation, adopted by the Ukrainian Parliament and approved by President Petro Poroshenko in October 2014, becomes operative in 2015 to allow time to achieve compliance. This anti-corruption legislation can be traced to the Euromaidan movement last fall. Former President Viktor Yanukovich’s alignment with Russia and failure to integrate with the European Union (EU) led to a groundswell of support for anti-corruption measures. Ukraine’s newly-formed government accomplished two goals with broad action. Ukraine enacted necessary anti-corruption and government transparency legislation as a condition for EU-backed financing and corresponding re-engagement. The new legislation package contains anti-corruption reform measures targeting both the public and private sectors. In addition, the legislation calls for the formation of two new government agencies intended to enhance the country’s focus on eliminating corruption—the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption and the National Anticorruption Bureau. Formed by the Cabinet of Ministers, the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (the National Agency) is envisaged as a central executive authority exclusively focused on battling corruption. The National Agency’s primary charge is to implement and ensure the development of national anti-corruption policies and monitor national compliance with anti-corruption legislation. -
