Competition Law. 1. The Parties recognise the importance of free and undistorted competition in their trade relations. The Parties acknowledge that anti-competitive business conduct has the potential to distort the proper functioning of markets and undermine the benefits of trade liberalisation.
2. The Parties shall take appropriate measures to proscribe anti-competitive business conduct, recognising that such measures will enhance the fulfilment of the objectives of this Agreement.
3. The Parties recognise the importance of cooperation and coordination to further enhance effective competition law enforcement. Their respective competition authorities shall endeavour to coordinate and cooperate, including through notification, consultation and exchange of non-confidential information, in the enforcement of their respective competition law to fulfil the objectives of this Agreement.
4. The measures referred to in paragraph 2 shall be consistent with the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and procedural fairness. Exclusions from the application of competition law shall be transparent. A Party shall make available to the other Party public information concerning such exclusions provided under its competition law.
Competition Law. 1. To the extent that a Party has adopted and applied measures (including competition law or sector-specific regulations) to address anti-competitive practices and arrangements, those measures shall be consistent with competition principles.
2. Where generic or relevant sectoral competition laws are in force in the Parties’ respective territories, the Parties shall ensure that all commercial activities are subject to such laws.
3. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, where generic or relevant sectoral competition laws are in force, either Party may exempt specific measures or sectors from the application of its general competition laws, provided that such exemptions are transparent and undertaken on the grounds of national policy or public interest.
4. Nothing in this Chapter requires a Party to adopt specific measures to address anti-competitive practices or prevents it from withdrawing such measures, nor does this Chapter prevent a Party from adopting policies in other fields, for example to promote economic development.

17.1.2 the conclusion or performance or enforcement of the Pool Agreements or any provisions of any of them infringes the Chapter II prohibition of the Competition Act 1998 (or, where relevant, any other Competition Rules); then the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to amend the Pool Agreements (or shall execute new agreements) so as to ensure that the objectives of the Pool Agreements are achieved and that the Pool Agreements as so amended (or any such new agreements) will not infringe the Chapter 1 prohibition of the Competition Act 1998 (or, where relevant, any other applicable Competition Rules) and that the conclusion, performance and enforcement of the Pool Agreements (or those new agreements) by any party thereto will not infringe the Chapter II prohibition of the Competition Act 1998 (or, where relevant, any other applicable Competition Rules), and, save to the extent that it is reasonable to do so and/or it is no longer possible to achieve the objectives of the Pool Agreements or to amend the Pool Agreements or enter into new agreements which do not give rise to an infringement of the Chapter I or Chapter II prohibitions of the Competition Act 1998 (or, where relevant, any other applicable Competition Rules), no Party shall withhold its consent (to the extent to which it is required) to the making of any such amendment or the execution of any such new agreement.
