Collaboration between competitors on localisation initiatives

The Department of Trade, Industries & Competition and the Competition Commission has published a guideline: Collaboration between competitors on localisation initiatives, which came into force on 18th March 2022. Unfortunately and once again, the publication is part of a larger document (256 pages) and no stand-alone gazette is available as yet.

FEDHASA will let you know if we manage to find one – we have emailed DTI&C.

The guideline runs from pages 32 to 47 inclusive.

A broad outline of the contents, which you can add to any communique forwarded to members, is set out below.
