Cartel
Mission
The mandate of the Cartel Working Group is to address the challenges of anti-cartel enforcement, both domestically and internationally, across the entire range of ICN members and amongst agencies with differing levels of experience. At the heart of antitrust enforcement is the battle against hardcore cartels directed at price fixing, bid rigging, market sharing and market allocations. The Cartel Working Group is co-chaired by the European Commission and the Hungarian Competition Authority.
The Cartel Working Group consists of two subgroups:
Subgroup 1: Legal Framework & Subgroup 2: Enforcement Techniques
Current Work
- Enforcer roundtable telephone discussions on cartel awareness & outreach efforts;
- Organisation of the 2010 ICN Cartel Workshop;
- New Anti-Cartel Enforcement Manual Chapter on Case Resolution;
- Coordinating the completion of the Anti-Cartel Enforcement Templates by additional ICN Members, update of old templates
