IETA Post-COP23 Webinar 20-21 November 2017 ANTITRUST GUIDELINES - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

IETA Post-COP23 Webinar 20-21 November 2017

ANTITRUST GUIDELINES FOR IETA It is IETA’s policy to comply fully with all applicable laws, including competition and antitrust laws. IETA has developed a Competition Policy to govern the conduct of participants both at formal meetings and in informal discussions that take place at events before or after formal meetings. In particular participants should not discuss or agree confidential information about: • matters relating to their pricing practices; • plans to expand or reduce output; • arrangements relating to specific customers; or • any other matter on which participants compete in the market place. Infringement of competition law may bring with it serious consequences for you as an individual, the companies you represent and IETA itself. If the chair considers that discussions might be construed as being sensitive from a competition law perspective, the chair will bring an end to that topic of discussion. Meeting participants should likewise not hesitate to voice any concerns they may have. Participants should also familiarise themselves with IETA’s Competition Policy and the Guidelines in the Do’s and Don’t’s document. A copy is available from the Chair. 2
