ABSTRACT

Is there any evidence of activities which could directly or indirectly fix purchase or selling prices or any trading conditions through:

Abuse of dominant position?

Market sharing or price fixing arrangements with competitors?

Resale price maintenance? A vertical arrangement under which a supplier requires a purchaser to resell goods at a certain price.

Limits or control over production, marketing, technical development or investment.

Shared sources of supply.

Sensitive information which is shared with competitors?

Dissimilar conditions in equivalent transactions?

Contracts which are subject to acceptance by the other parties of supplementary obligations which, by their nature or according to commercial usage, have no connection with the subject of such contracts. This would include, for example, making it a condition that a customer for product A buys product B before it is supplied with product A.

Has the target terminated, or threatened to terminate, dealers because of their pricing or parallel importing or exporting practices?
