Legal Alliance Company invites to participate in the seminar “Pharmaceutical business through the prism of a new anti-corruption law” that will be held on November 4, 2014 from 16.00 till 17.30.
Venue: Kyiv, 8 Illinska str., Illinsky business-center, conference room.
As far as is known, on October 14, 2014 Verhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted a few new laws on prevention and counteraction to corruption. These include, inter alia, a new basic anti-corruption law – the Law of Ukraine “On prevention of corruption”.
The main innovations under the new Law are as follows:
- Basic terminology was expanded, now it includes definitions of the new terms such as “gift” (a category different from “illegal benefit”), “potential conflict of interests”and “real conflict of interests”, “breachrelated to corruption” (a category different from “corruption offence”).
- New approaches on identification of persons whom the provisions of the Law apply to were implemented.
- Limit of the total value of the gifts, allowed to obtain from a single source within the year, was changed. It was stated a specific list of actions for a person to whom restrictions regarding obtaining the gifts apply, if such a person receives an offer of a gift or if a gift was left in an office, as well as the consequences of making any decisions by such a person, who receives a gift, in favor of a donor.
- Requirements to anti-corruption measures, which are mandatory for any and all legal entities, as well as special requirements related to the actions of the legal entities which are participants of the procedure of the state procurements according to the Law of Ukraine “On state procurements” (in particular, requirements on approval and coordination with the National commission on prevention of corruption of an anti-corruption program, introduction of a position of the Commissioner of the anti-corruption program etc.) were stipulated.
The new Law will affect the activities of any and all pharmaceutical companies in Ukraine. In particular, pharmaceutical companies must adapt their inner politics, regulations and business-processes to the new legal requirements and rules.
