Description
Summary:Many would agree that the imposition of corporate fines by competition authorities is not sufficient by itself to act as a deterrent. It seems that not even huge fines trickle down the chain to deter individuals. Some countries have introduced individual criminal liability for some antitrust infringements, but in most jurisdictions criminal penalties are not enforced in practice. This questionnaire aims to answer whether additional, more creative individual sanctions should be introduced or whether corporate compliance programmes should be encouraged without creating new kinds of corporate or individual sanctions.
