Question NW3793 to the Minister of Economic Development
17 November 2015 - NW3793
Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Economic Development
Does the Competition Commission intend to implement the provisions of the Competition Amendment Act, Act 1 of 2009, to criminalise cartel activities; if not, why not; if so, when?
Reply:
Technical work is continuing in order to give effect to the phased introduction of the Competition Amendment Act and ensure capacity to implement effectively. This has been done successfully with the market enquiry provisions. Further announcements can be expected within the next six months, based on progress made with additional areas of the Amendment Act.
