-
- Business
What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode!
In this episode, we discuss how far the US should push Europe when it comes to banning goods produced with forced labor, whether Canadians are just too darn nice when it comes to bribery, the Supreme Court’s review of when cash given to a US politician crosses from a thank-you gift to a bribe, and a Florida man’s notice to arresting officers that he’d be drinking his beer before being arrested because it’s cold.
The issue of forced labor, particularly in China, and its resultant goods has triggered a significant discourse between the US and Europe, highlighting the intricate connection between international trade and human rights. Tom argues for Europe to adopt stringent measures against forced labor like the US and credits his stand to his profound understanding of the extensive impact such a practice has on modern society. He advocates for a broad ban on goods linked to forced labor and is enthusiastic about the potential of a joint EU, US, and UK task force addressing the issue.
Kristy, with her focused view on the contrasting approaches of the US and Europe, agrees with the necessity of a robust response. She acknowledges the US’s advanced position in tackling forced labor challenges, appreciates the EU’s efforts to enact a similar ban, and supports the idea of a joint task force. She underlines the importance of preventing goods made from forced labor from entering the US via Europe.
