Draft bill on German corporate sanctions act

After long discussions about the introduction of corporate criminal liability, the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection presented a first draft bill for a new Corporate Sanctions Act in August 2019. The act introduces a major shift in German Criminal law by proposing severe sanctions on companies for corporate criminal offenses. It includes regulations on internal investigations, compliance management systems and legal privilege. Since it was published, the act is discussed intensely among legal experts, politicians and the public. The following article presents the most important provisions of the draft bill. In addition, the authors compare the act to further jurisdiction’s legislation, discuss potential impacts on companies, and provide proposals for improvements for the further legislative proces

Internal investigations - legal situation, possible options and legal-political need for action

In June 2018, the German Constitutional Court decided on the search of a law firm and the securing of documents and data in the firm’s premises by the Public Prosecutors’ Office. The Court rejected the respective constitutional complaints and regarded the prosecutions’measures as lawful. The Court’s orders received immense public attention as the constitutional complaints were filed by Volkswagen AG, Jones Day, and the firm’s lawyer in connection with the “diesel emissions scandal”. Besides, the orders were discussed intensely among legal experts, as the Court severely limited legal privilege in Germany. This article examines the Court’s orders and its consequences, in particular with regard to internal investigations. In addition, the authors draw a comparison with legal privilege under U.S. law and discuss possible options to avoid extensive disclosure of documents and data. Finally, they demand legislative action and request the legislator to provide adequate safeguards for internal investigations

Towards the EU Food Safety Forum: shaping together the new collaborative platform" FoodSafety4EU PRE-FORUM 2022 "The new sustainability regulation: how to integrate it into food safety?

Safe, authentic and nutritious food is key to sustaining life and promoting good health, yet the current EU food safety system falters when a need arises to quickly adapt to a continuously evolving food chain. The EU-funded FoodSafety4EU (FS4EU) project kicked off in January 2021 as a step forward towards a more engaged and co-operative Food Safety System (FSS) in Europe. The project aims to design, develop and release a multi-stakeholder platform, along with new digital tools to help citizens, scientists, companies, European Commission (EC), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and national Food Safety Authorities co-design Europe’s future food safety system. With the overall ambition of becoming a Competence Centre for Food Safety in Europe supporting the transformation towards a safe and sustainable food system, the FS4EU platform is shaped to: Reduce the current fragmentation of the EU FSS, facilitating higher value interactions between its actors in the multi-levelled system. Support EC and EFSA to address the main food safety challenges and formulate appropriate recommendations. Make available selected knowledge and data (by delivering digital solutions) enhancing the public confidence.Towards the EU Food Safety Forum: shaping together the new collaborative platform" FoodSafety4EU PRE-FORUM 2022 "The new sustainability regulation: how to integrate it into food safety?publishedVersio
