Summary
The prohibition on exchanging commercially sensitive information among
competitors is one of the most fundamental antitrust rules. Companies
and individuals may face potential expo-sure for anticompetitive
information exchange, not only in their day-to-day business due to the
applicable conduct and behavioral rules, but also in the context of
M&A deals due to applicable gun jumping regulations. The Cartels
Working Group of Antitrust Section of the International Bar Association
has formulated a comparative guide across 28 jurisdictions, encompassing
all global regions, to provide a compendium of best practices and key
insights about leading cases, laws and regulations, as well as
enforcement trends. Contributed by distinguished practitioners, each
chapter provides an overview of the national competition rules and
principles that guide information sharing in that jurisdiction, followed
by the types of information sharing that may be caught, the enforcement
policier and practices of the competition authority and applicable
sanctions for parties that are found guilty of an illegal exchange of
information. The book also provides a high level overview by the editors
outlining trends observed across jurisdictions, to provide insight to
the international business community, their advisors as well as to
competition authorities.
