Competition/Anti-trust. The Companies are not party to any practice, arrangement or agreement that infringes or is likely to require registration or notification under any relevant anti-trust or competition law.
Competition/Anti-trust. The EU and Mexico have agreed on a chapter on anticompetitive conducts, which ensures that companies operating in Mexico have to respect the same basic competition principles as in Europe: no abuse of a dominant position, no agreements between enterprises that restrict competition, and scrutiny of the competitive effects of a merger. At the same time, Mexican and European companies are ensured that their rights in competition procedures will be respected (procedural fairness), and that they can confidently turn to the respective competition authorities to enforce competition law. Finally, the competition chapter also confirms the importance of cooperation between the competition authorities. Anticompetitive conduct can be an important behind-the-border trade barrier. Rules on competition are therefore not that much about increasing market access per se, but rather about ensuring appropriate conditions which will enable market access to become effective and translate into real business opportunities. The competition chapter helps ensuring a level playing field for European companies, and avoids trade benefits stemming from the FTA being eliminated by anti-competitive practices.
