Investigation and Assessment procedure Sample Clauses

Investigation and Assessment procedure. The Commission’s approach to this investigation involves a number of steps. Firstly, the Commission has undertaken preliminary discussions with some complainants with a view to ascertaining the nature of issues at the centre of the complaints. Following the distribution of this Issues Paper to interested parties, the Commission will receive and assess submissions and comments based on the Issues Paper. A questionnaire to key shipping lines will also be circulated in order to obtain relevant supply information. The Commission may hold a further round of public consultation on the basis of information received. Finally, a report for the Minister will be prepared on the basis of the Commission’s findings. The Commission is assessing the market conduct of parties to a registered agreement in the liner cargo shipping industry by comparing the benefits and detriments associated with the operation of the AADA. While the TPA does not define public benefits, the matters which may be considered by the Commission to constitute public benefits are discussed in Millers (2003), Annotated Trade Practices Act 1974 24th edition pp 804-807. According to the Productivity Commission, any public benefits to be gained due to the operation of coordinated agreements in liner shipping are coincident with those benefits to be gained by shippers (importers and exporters). 11 Public detriment from the operation of the agreement is not equated with anti- competitiveness, of itself, however it is defined to be due to that detriment resulting from any lessening of competition. Detriments such as the economic cost that is intrinsic to or associated with a perceived public benefit, is also taken into account in the calculus of the balance of benefit and detriment. 12 For its assessment of the balance of public benefits and public detriments the Commission will compare two scenarios. The first is the ‘factual’ scenario comprising the recent past including the operation of the AADA as a registered agreement amongst shipping lines participating on the North East Asia – Australia southbound liner trades. The second scenario is a ‘counterfactual’ of a hypothetical past with no AADA in place. However, other registered agreements amongst lines in the above trades such as the Australia / New Zealand Eastern Shipping Conference (ANZESC) can be assumed to have still operated in the counterfactual. Below are a number of issues that are likely to be considered during the Commission’s investigation. T...
