Thus, the Commission provided basic guidelines on how to develop a business compliance program, how to conduct self-assessment of company risk, how to educate employees in this respect, what are the specific risks in business and how to identify them, and gave practical recommendations on what is desirable/undesirable behavior among market participants in terms of protection of competition in the market.
