Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Competition Law and Trade Associations: Discussion
Mr. Brian McHugh:
The market certainly has a European dimension and we do engage at European level. There is a lot of interest in the unfair trading practices directive, which is obviously European legislation, and issues within the industry. We have not particularly come across cross-border cartels or investigations of this nature. We continue to discuss with Europe all of the issues in the market. We attend European meetings quite regularly and they are very useful sources of information for us. If there were to be concerns at European level we would engage with the Commission.
