National Contact Points
The National Contact Point (NCP) is a government
office responsible for encouraging observance of the Guidelines
in a national context and for ensuring that the Guidelines are
well known and understood by the national business community and
by other interested parties. The NCP gathers information on
national experiences with the Guidelines, handles enquiries,
discusses matters related to the Guidelines and assists in
solving problems that may arise in this connection. When issues
arise concerning implementation of the Guidelines in relation to
specific instances of business conduct, the NCP is expected to
help resolve them. Generally, issues are dealt with by the NCP
in whose country the issue has arisen. Any person or
organisation may approach a National Contact Point to enquire
about a matter related to the Guidelines.
Because of the central role it plays, the
effectiveness of the NCP is a crucial factor in determining how
influential the Guidelines are in each national context.
