AB  - An important aspect of UK competition policy is the attempt to
maintain competitive markets by prohibiting restrictive agreements and
cartels involving price fixing, market sharing, etc., the effect of
which is to suppress, limit or distort active rivalry between suppliers.
Examines UK policy towards restrictive agreements, alongside similar
attempts to control cartels in the European Community. Outlines the
regulatory frameworks operating in the UK and EC and emphasizes
particular points of interest in the application of policy control by
reference to selected restrictive agreement/cartel cases. While the
attack on formal “open” collusion has been highly
successful, it is clear from the work of the Office of Fair Trading and
the European Commission that clandestine (”covert”)
collusion between suppliers remains an on‐going problem.
