FSI Compliance Committee meeting 21 August 2019 • Opening and welcome • Attendance & Apologies • Competition Law Caveat
Competition Law Caveat
Competition Law Disclaimer: To be read at the beginning of industry association meetings
1. The CGC and its stakeholders recognise that industry associations perform functions which are
legitimate and which promote the competitiveness of the industry as a whole. However,
membership of an industry association or work group may tempt the stakeholders meeting under
its auspices to collude together and to co-ordinate their action. Accordingly, care must be
exercised to ensure that this meeting is not used as a vehicle for collusion between its
stakeholders.
2. All activities of this work group must be carefully measured against the prevailing competition law
in South Africa. The CGC and its stakeholders recognize the need to exercise extreme care to
avoid any violation or raise the suspicion of a possible violation of competition law and under no
circumstances will attempts be made to guide the independent market behaviour of its
stakeholders and will encourage individual stakeholders to make business decisions on their own
and without consultation with their competitors.
2.1. To this end any discussions regarding increasing, decreasing or standardising current or
future prices, pricing procedures, discounts, credit terms or rebates, what constitutes a fair
profit level; and allocating markets, refusals to deal with customers or suppliers shall be
scrupulously avoided at all times.
This meeting is aware of the contents of the full disclaimer and agree to abide fully by its
caveats.
