Combating bribery 

The 2006 OECD “Recommendation on Bribery and Officially-supported Export Credits” based on the “Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions” states that combating bribery is a matter of priority in the case of  transactions using government-backed export financing.

Atradius Dutch StateBusiness will reject an application if there is serious concern that the applicant or his agent has engaged or will engage in bribery according to the Criminal Code, or has been an accessory to bribery to win the contract.

In the different application forms, Atradius Dutch State Business therefore asks for information on agents’ commission. The insurance policy also refers to the penalties for bribery: loss of entitlement to indemnification, obligation to repay any indemnification already received, and possible prosecution.
