A seguir, a definição que a British Petroleum dá a "facilition payments". A companhia, ao que parece, tem experiência no assunto:
Facilitation payments
Facilitation payments are small payments to low-level government officials for administrative services. In early 2001, BP's stance on such payments received a lot of attention in the public domain. We said, in a UK parliamentary hearing, that whilst facilitation payments are discouraged in BP, our policy allowed them to be made at local management discretion. Many places do not recognize a difference between facilitation payments and bribes, and some parties chose to portray BP as tolerant of paying bribes. We have accepted that our position on this should be strengthened to re-enforce an unequivocal anti-corruption stance. In February 2002, we introduced a new policy that makes it clear that BP staff anywhere in the world should not make facilitation payments from now on.
