Question: What is the difference between a bribe and a facilitation fee ? Does it make a difference if payments or bribes are a crime in a foreign country, but laws against them are not enforced ? If such payments are not considered illegal in a foreign country, is it proper to make such payments ? From an ethical point of view, should the FCPA be read broadly or narrowly? Is giving a bribe a victimless crime? Does bribe giving affect the free market system ? How Do you believe that the FCPA places U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage?
