Sec. 10(a)(3).
Topic for Comment
The Commission requests comment on the following topic.
International
The adoption of competition or antitrust laws by over 100
jurisdictions around the world, as well as the globalization of
commerce and markets, has given rise to the potential for conflict
between the United States and foreign jurisdictions with respect to
enforcement actions taken and remedies sought. Are there multilateral
procedures that should be implemented, or other actions taken, to
enhance international antitrust comity? In commenting, please address
the significance of the issue, what solutions might reduce that
problem, and how such solutions could be implemented by the United
States.
Dated: November 9, 2005.
By direction of the Antitrust Modernization Commission.
Andrew J. Heimert,
Executive Director & General Counsel, Antitrust Modernization
Commission.
