I move amendment No. 172:

In page 117, to delete line 3 and substitute the following:
“requirement.
“(4) A person who—
(a) provides the Commission or officer, as the case may be, with information that the person knows, or ought reasonably to know, is false or misleading in a material respect, or

(b) fails, without reasonable cause, to provide information pursuant to a requirement under subsection (1), is guilty of an offence.
(5) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable—
(a) on summary conviction, to a class A fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both, or

(b) on conviction on indictment, to a fine not exceeding €250,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or both.
(6) In this section, ‘relevant competition law’ has the meaning it has in the Competition Act 2002.”.”.
