Uniunea Europeanä: corectarea asimetriei

dintre Europa si State[e Unite a[e Americii

in reg[ementarea [uptei Tmpotriva coruptiei


Dr. Andrei DUTU



RegLementarea americanä avänd ca obiect coruptia transfrontalierä, intituLatä Foreign Corruption
Practices Act (FCPA), a intrat in vigoare in anuL 1977; dupä 20 de ani, in cadruL Organizatiei
pentru Cooperare si DezvoLtare Economicä (OCDE) a fost adoptatä Conventiaprivindcombaterea
faptelor de coruppe ale functionarilor intemationali in tranzactiile comerciale internationale (2007),
iar in 2005, a intrat in vigoare Conventia NatiuniLor Unite impotriva coruptiei (ratificatä de
Romänia prin Legea nr. 365/2004).

AnaLizänd in cadruL unui studiu pubLicat recent Legea francezä din 9 decembrie 2016 privind
transparenta, Lupta impotriva coruptiei si modernizarea vietii economice (Legea ,Sapin IW), care
impune societätiLor avänd mai muLt de 500 de angajati si o cifrä economicä anuaLä de peste 100
de miLioane de euro, sä adopte toate mäsuriLe necesare pentru prevenirea si identificarea fapteLor
de coruptie sau de trafic de influentä la niveL national si internationa, fostuL prim-ministru francez
Bernard Cazeneuve, in prezent avocat, aratä cä, in ciuda acestor progrese LegisLative, se impune
adoptarea unui pachet de regLementäri anticoruptie la niveL european, pentru a combate mai
eficient marea infractionalitate financiarä.


       PrincipaLeLe cäi de interventie [egis[ativä

In opinia fostuLui premier francez, LegisLatia americanä sus-mentionatä a fost adoptatä peste
ocean tocmai sub pretextuL absentei sau ineficientei unei LegisLatii simiLare la niveL european,
in domeniuL prevenirii si sanctionärii coruptiei, Legitimänd, astfe, caracteruL extrateritoriaL al
interventiei jurisdictionaLe americane.

Totusi, de remarcat cä uLtimeLe documente adoptate, atät la niveL intern, cät si la nivel European
general, urmäresc, in aceLasi timp, crearea conditiiLor unei concurente economice echitabiLe,
singuruL element care poate garanta o crestere economicä durabiLä, fntr-un context din ce in
ce mai puternic sub aspect concurentiaL. Or, aratä B. Cazeneuve, metodeLe care functioneazä
la niveLuL pietei gLobaLe, vor functiona afortiori pe piata unicä europeanä, astfeL fncät simpla
constatare a asimetriei fn raporturiLe euroatLantice fn privinta conformitätii si Luptei anticoruptie
impune, fn aceeasi mäsurä, o reactie corespunzätoare.

In ce priveste prevenirea, incriminarea si sanctionarea fapteLor de coruptie, adoptarea unui
pachet legislativ de compliance (conformare) la niveLuL Uniunii Europene constituie un obiectiv
al BruxeLLes-uLui post-2020; fn vederea corectärii acestei ,,asimetrii a raporturiLor euroatLantice
fn acest domeniu sensibiL, trebuie sä se aibä fn vedere trei principaLe cäi de actiune.
