EP NL Anti-Trust Law Policy

The purpose of the Policy is to ensure that all employees observe Anti-trust law and are aware of serious consequences that any infringement of Anti-trust laws may have. Anti-trust law comprises of legislation enacted by EU and its member states to regulate trade and commerce by preventing unlawful restraints, pricefixing, and monopolies, to promote competition and to encourage the production of quality goods and services at the lowest prices, with the primary goal of safeguarding public welfare by ensuring that consumer demands will be met by the manufacture and sale of goods at reasonable prices.

EP NL is committed to respecting open markets and fair competition. EP NL applies appropriate measures and procedures whenever necessary to prevent an infringement of Anti-trust law. The Policy highlights consequences that the infringement of Anti-trust law may have and describes appropriate measures, procedures and principles of conduct to be applied by EP NL, on a risk-based approach, so as to focus its effort in the area where the risk of an infringement appears to be higher.
