The Europe Business Assembly (EBA) is an Oxford-based organisation

Background

EBA was founded in 2000, by Ukrainian businessman Anton Savvov, and he runs it out of Oxford and Ukraine, along with his son Ivan Savvov. The directors are Ivan Savvov and "Professor" John Netting, formerly a lecturer at Oxford Brookes University.

Activities

EBA offers various "awards", an "academic union", and an "almanac", all with prestigious-sounding names. The awards are presented in venues including Oxford Town Hall and the [[Institute of s competition".

Criticism

The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project reported of the EBA and similar organizations that "anyone who replies, shows interest

In 2015, an Indonesian magazine criticized EBA for selling "meaningless accolades to egotistical officials, especially those from countries notorious for c-cityal councils ‘fell for vanity awards scam’|url=http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/07/27/penang-local-councils-fell-for-vanity-awards-scam-two-municipalities-left-redfaced-by-european-ngos%7Caccessdate=28 July 2017|publisher=Star Media Group Berhad|date=27 July 2017}}</ref> Also in 2017, Chinese media reported that China's state-run Longyuan Power Group had "allegedly paid for the made-up award of Best Enterprise" in 2011 from EBA. The South China Morning Post said the scam traded on the University of Oxford’s name to sell fake awards to companies.

In July 2017, The Times reported that the "University of Oxford's academic reputation is being exploited by Ukrainian businessmen selling millions of pounds worth of fake awards and honours".
