Publication date : 14/12/2006 | Document Number : 225/637
ICC, the International Chamber of Commerce, and the USCIB, United States Council for International Business, welcome the opportunity to submit comments to Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice Hearings on Section 2 of the Sherman Act regarding certain antitrust issues that have been identified for potential study
As world business organizations with members from all sectors in over 130 countries, ICC and USCIB are able to draw on a rich range of perspectives from different sectors on these issues.
With their long history of interest in the issues below, it is hoped that the following comments may assist the hearings to identify priority areas for further work.
The issues identified and questions presented in the Federal Register notice have been previously addressed in recent comments submitted by ICC and the USCIB, specifically in the International Chamber of Commerce, Comments on the Reform of the Application of Article 82 of the EC Treaty; the ICC Comments on the European Commission Discussion Paper on the Application of Article 82 of the Treaty to Exclusionary Abuses ; the International Chamber of Commerce, Comments on Selected Issues for Study by the U.S. Antitrust Modernization Commission; and the United States Council for International Business, Submission to the Directorate-General for Competition on the Application of Article 82 of the Treaty to Exclusionary Abuses.
Rather than repeat this material in its entirety, ICC and USCIB direct the staff to them generally, and here include only highlights addressing particular issues and questions presented in the Federal Register notice.
