NDRC Accelerates The Drafting Of Six Anti-Monopoly Guidelines

On 5 November 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC") held a press conference on price reform and price supervision. Mr. Dong Zhiming, inspector of the Price Supervision and Inspection and Anti‐Monopoly Bureau ("PSIAMB"), said that, in order to normalize and refine the anti‐monopoly enforcement, NDRC is soliciting public opinions by means of issuing questionnaires and holding symposiums. NDRC is also accelerating the drafting of six guidelines, including Guidelines on Prohibiting the Abuse of Intellectual Property Rights to Eliminate or Restrict Competition, Anti‐Monopoly Guidelines for Auto Industry, Guidelines on Leniency Policy, Guidelines on Commitment of Undertakings, Guidelines on Calculating the Illegal Gains and Fines for Monopoly Conducts and Guidelines on Procedures of Monopoly Agreements Exemption.
