CLE EVENT: Amendments to the Japanese Anti-Monopoly Act
Date: Wednesday 9 September 2009
Topic: Amendments to the Japanese Anti-Monopoly Act
[Presentation given in English]
In June, the Japanese Diet passed an important amendment bill to the Japanese Anti-Monopoly Act to strengthen cartel regulation and to modify the merger control rules. The changes increase the availability of leniency in cartel situations and introduce stricter rules for surcharges (administrative fines) and criminal sanctions. As regards mergers, the amendment will require pre-closing notification to the JFTC for share acquisitions which, together with other changes, will be likely to result in more foreign-to-foreign transactions needing to be notified in Japan.
