JUSTICE, FTC OFFICIALS REVISIT INTERNATIONAL ANTITRUST GUIDELINES

摘要

The U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division and Federal Trade Commission are reviewing comments from the past month on their proposed "Antitrust Guidelines for International Enforcement and Cooperation." Officials seek to update the 1995 "Antitrust Enforcement Guidelines for International Operations" and provide guidance to businesses engaged in international activities on questions that concern the agencies' international enforcement policy plus related investigative tools and cooperation with foreign authorities. The proposed guidelines reflect what the Justice Department calls "the growing importance of antitrust enforcement in a globalized economy and the agencies' commitment to cooperating with foreign authorities on both policy and investigative matters."
