There is now an apparent worldwide trend to fight corruption through the adoption of the new generation of anticorruption laws, that is, domestic laws with extraterritorial reach that provide for legal responsibility to corporations for corrupt practices. In 2013, Brazil joined this movement with the adoption of the Clean Company Act. The entry into force of this legislation provoked criticism and concern, especially with regard to the tension between the underlying interests of the measure and its impacts. Considering that the new generation of anti-corruption laws focuses on corporate conduct abroad, it is clear the ability to impact international trade activities. This thesis addresses the possible impacts of the Clean Company Act to Brazilian international trade from the point of view of growth or fall in imports and exports flows, as well as the formulation of public policies and changes in the behavior of the private sector. Because it is a fairly recent regulation and due to the lack of convictions due to the practice of corruption abroad, the verification of the aforementioned impacts was done based on the study of the United States’ experience with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In light of the results regarding the adoption of the law and the imposition of FCPA enforcement actions, this thesis discusses the possible impacts of the Clean Company Act to Brazilian international trade. In summary, the thesis presents considerations regarding the future of Brazilian import and export flows in view of the new generation of anti-corruption laws, the challenges and the alternatives for the Brazilian government to achieve the objectives pursued with the aforementioned legislation, as well as the changes that will be promoted in the private sector conducts due to the new culture of compliance in international trade
Observa-se na atualidade uma aparente tendência mundial de combate à corrupção por meio da adoção da nova geração de leis anticorrupção, isto é, leis domésticas com alcance extraterritorial que atribuem responsabilidade às pessoas jurídicas pela prática da corrupção. Em 2013, o Brasil aderiu a esse movimento com a implementação da Lei da Empresa Limpa. A entrada em vigor dessa normativa atraiu críticas e preocupações, sobretudo no que diz respeito à tensão entre os interesses subjacentes à medida e os seus impactos. Tendo em vista que a nova geração de leis anticorrupção tem como escopo a atuação corporativa no exterior, é evidente o seu poder de impactar as atividades de comércio internacional. A presente tese aborda os possíveis impactos da Lei da Empresa Limpa para o comércio internacional brasileiro, tanto do ponto de vista de crescimento ou queda nas importações e exportações, quanto de formulação de políticas públicas e mudanças no comportamento do setor privado. Por se tratar de uma normativa bastante recente e devido à inexistência de condenações pela prática da corrupção no exterior, a verificação dos mencionados impactos foi feita a partir do estudo da experiência dos Estados Unidos com o Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Com base nos resultados obtidos acerca da implementação do marco jurídico e da aplicação de medidas corretivas fundamentadas na referida lei, esta tese discute os possíveis impactos da Lei da Empresa Limpa para o comércio internacional brasileiro. Em suma, a tese traz considerações acerca do futuro dos fluxos de importação e exportação brasileiros em vista da nova geração de leis anticorrupção, dos desafios e das alternativas para o governo brasileiro alcançar os objetivos almejados com a referida normativa, bem como das mudanças que serão promovidas na atuação do setor privado haja vista a nova cultura do compliance no comércio internacional

Full textThe African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a unilateral trade policy concession governing United States - Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) trade and investment relations. AGOA provides United States market access for 40 SSA countries, including South Africa. This piece of legislation has the fundamental objective of facilitating the global integration of SSA countries into the world economy by extending preferential access to the United States market for exporters from eligible countries. Over the past decade, AGOA has emerged as a topical issue as scholars and policy makers sought to understand its impact on SSA, especially South Africa. This has been awarded more impetus given its pending expiration in 2015. This, naturally, raised questions about the performance of United States preference programs (such as AGOA) as part of a larger ongoing debate on the form that United States preference programs may take in the foreseeable future. With South Africa facing a serious opposition to inclusion in the next shape of AGOA given the number of trade agreements South Africa has signed with countries that are competitors to United States in certain product categories. This study will seek to highlight the importance of the AGOA dispensation to South Africa, and through that analysis make a case for the continued inclusion of South Africa in the future trade dispensations that may develop. This study focuses on two research objectives; firstly, the study seeks to assess the extent to which increased preferential access to the United States market has translated into a real and tangible increase in exports from South Africa to the United States. Secondly, the study seeks to identify the areas where South Africa and the United States have high trade potential, and help make a case for inclusion of these high potential trade products in the next iteration of the AGOA dispensation. In achieving the first research objective, the study carried out a detailed trade statistics analysis with the hope of gaining greater understanding of the extent to which AGOA has influenced trade patterns between the United States and South Africa. South Africa's trade figures show that the United States is an important trade partner. A key conclusion that can be drawn from the analysis is the observation that a fair amount of growth in South Africa's exports to the United States is fundamentally characterized by two key aspects namely; growth in specific commodities and an export base that is becoming gradually concentrated over time. This implies that trade between South Africa and the United States is shifting towards a new focus in line with AGOA incentives and by extension one may conclude that South African firms are utilizing the market opportunities and the networks that enable them to effectively exploit the United States market. In fulfilling the second research objective, the detailed trade potential analysis that is propped up by a robust analysis of trade trends was carried out. The trade potential analysis identified thirteen commodity groups as having high potential for further exports into the United States market, and Pearls, precious stones and metals were identified as having the highest indicative trade potential, although the picture changes as the data is further disaggregated. This suggests that there is enormous potential and a great scope for export of pearls, precious stones and metals to the United States.

Full textAIM AND FIELD OF RESEARCH Debtors and guarantors of loans by finance providers often endeavour to escape liability by relying on disentitling conduct on the part of their finance provider. Over the last twenty-six years, a body of jurisprudence has developed around s 52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth). This has enabled debtors and guarantors of loans by finance providers to escape liability where there has been misleading or deceptive conduct by the finance provider. Recently the Australian Consumer Law has been enacted. Over time it is anticipated that debtors and guarantors of loans by finance providers will be able to escape liability by reason of conduct which contravenes this legislation. This thesis examines the circumstances in which guarantors and debtors are able to escape liability by relying on unconscionability under the general law, unconscionability under the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) or by relying on the special equity considered in Garcia v National Australia Bank Limited (Garcia). The special equity in Garcia is sufficiently closely related to the doctrine of unconscionability to warrant its examination in this thesis. In addition to examining the circumstances under which guarantors and debtors are able to escape liability by relying on unconscionability under the general law and/or unconscionability under the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) and/or by relying on the special equity considered in Garcia, this thesis also examines the future direction of this area of the law, together with its likely future impact on the provision of finance in Australia. The first area examined by this thesis is unconscionability claims in equity. The second area examined by this thesis is the special equity, which was identified by Dixon J in Yerkey v Jones, and reaffirmed and extended by the High Court of Australia in Garcia. The special equity in Garcia is seen to be a special extension to the doctrine of unconscionability. The third area examined by this thesis is unconscionability under Part IVA of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth). Here it is recognised that Part IVA unconscionability allows courts to consider both the existing ‘unwritten law’ of what is unconscionability, as well as statutory unconscionability under ss 51AB and 51AC of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth). This thesis spans the period up until 28 May 2010. The following questions are asked: 1. What is unconscionability under the general law? 2. Having regard to the High Court’s decision in Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v CG Berbatis Holdings Pty Ltd (Berbatis), what legislative changes are needed in ss 51AB and 51AC in Part IVA of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) in order to extend the statutory definition of unconscionable conduct? 3. If there were changes made to ss 51AB and 51AC so as to extend the liability of parties who engage in unconscionable conduct, what would be the likely impact on financiers? 4. Post Garcia, has there been a willingness by courts to extend the types of relationships that will attract the special equitable relief in Garcia, beyond the confines of the wife-and-husband marital relationship?
