5.4 Antitrust – good practices

Good Practice 1 - Recommendation concerning Effective Action against Hard Core Cartels

The main policy objective of the OECD is to find cartels that violate competition law, both within and out-
side the OECD. The Competition Commission has the task of monitoring and implementing the recommen-
dations and collecting statistical data taking into account the OECD international cartel database.

Following a proposal by the Competition Committee, a recommendation was adopted on 2 July 2019 to
counteract established cartels. This is a recommendation that represents a significant change in the en-
forcement of cartels, including mention of amnesty, leniency, settlements, fines and enforcement actions. 1
