In January 2017 the Federal Economic Competition Commission (FECC) issued its Annual Working Plan. In it, the FECC recognised that one of its strategic goals is to communicate to economic agents how anti-competitive practices will be investigated and which actions agents may adopt to prevent potential risks. In particular, the FECC declared that one of its goals for 2017 would be to launch a project to develop guidelines for the analysis of collaboration agreements between competitors. According to the FECC, this project will: l clarify key concepts on the subject; l collect best practices on the analysis of collaboration agreements among competitors; l indicate specific criteria to identify the activities that should be investigated; and l highlight collaboration agreements that may be considered collusive.
