It is a rare country that has an anti cartel programme and has not prosecuted one or more cement cartels.

This is a success story in the fight against cartels that can be used by developing countries and also shows that it is possible to successfully detect and prosecute cartels.

The competition agency must first establish credibility that it will discover and successfully prosecute cartels, and that it will severely punish those that are prosecuted.

Prosecuting cartels may be the most difficult of the tasks assigned to competition agencies, however.

The first member of a cartel should receive complete immunity from prosecution and punishment.

The successful detection, investigation and prosecution of this cartel is a clear indication of the progress made by competition agencies in developing countries in eradicating these harmful cartels.

It can publicize the important role of complaints in cartel cases that are successfully prosecuted.

Work to develop a relationship with the courts that will hear appeals of cartel cases. It is inevitable that, as a competition agency becomes more active in prosecuting cartels (and other violations of the competition law), some of its cases will be appealed.

Complainants usually do not possess enough evidence to prove that a cartel exists, but without their initiative, many cartel prosecutions would never begin.

Developed countries should recognize decisions of developing country competition authorities against international cartels based in developed countries' territories and should assist in the prosecution of cartel members.

Five cement companies were prosecuted for operating a cartel that lasted for 18 years, from 1981 to 1999.

Karswell's worried about what Hobart might tell us.

As of 1999, the competition agencies had prosecuted only one cartel case under the country's competition law, which was enacted in 1988.

In almost all countries there must be more evidence than just parallel pricing to support a cartel prosecution.

Naïve cartels are much more common in developing countries and others that have not been active in prosecuting the conduct.

In such a programme, the first cartel member offering to cooperate with a cartel investigation and providing evidence implicating the other members is promised forgiveness from prosecution or, in some cases, reduced sanctions.

You see, that's what Bill Carson told me.

The optimal fine for this purpose is a multiple of the actual gain, because not every cartel is discovered and prosecuted, a factor that businesspeople take into account in deciding whether to engage in a cartel.

It may also be noted in this connection that many international cartels discovered in recent years by the United States federal antitrust agencies have conducted their meetings in other countries in an attempt to evade criminal anti cartel prosecutions by these authorities moreover, it has been suggested that similar concerns may arise with respect to some other countries as they implement stricter penalties and strengthen enforcement against cartels.

How does a robust competition culture support successful anti cartel enforcement?

Engage in international cooperation in the anti cartel effort. There is an active international effort against cartels.

However, most of the international cooperation that took place in two of these cartel cases was limited to the exchange of publicly available information, which was insufficient to support prosecutions where competition agencies did not benefit from cooperation from one or more parties to the cartel.

In the last decade, the introduction and application of such programmes have increased the detection of prosecution levels of cartel activity in both developed and developing countries.

However, we are concerned that 10 publicly indicted persons remain at large, including major indicted war criminals, in particular Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.

Karl, I'd love to tell you, but whoever it was said I wasn't to say a word to anyone.
