translate English to French: As with criminal offences, the existence of a credible and effective program may enable a business to demonstrate mitigating conduct, including evidence that the anti-competitive activity is contrary to its policies and the statements of senior management, and that it was terminated as soon as it became known to senior management.
Comme pour les infractions criminelles, l’existence d’un programme crédible et efficace peut aider l’entreprise à établir des circonstances atténuantes, notamment que l’activité anticoncurrentielle est contraire à ses politiques ainsi qu’aux actions et aux déclarations de la haute direction, et que l’activité a pris fin dès que la haute direction en a eu connaissance.
