These actions by the Parties were
aimed at distorting the prices of fresh
chicken products in Singapore. By
agreeing not to compete for each
other’s customers, and coordinating
the price increases, the Par ties
restricted the choices available to
customers and provided few options
for them to switch distributors.
On 8 March 2016, CCS issued a
written notice to the Parties, setting
out the facts on which CCS made
it s assessment , along with the
reasons for the proposed decision.
CCS will make its final decision,
after considering representations
from the Parties, as well as available
information and evidence.
UNDER THE COMPETITION ACT,
BUSINESSES SHOULD INDEPENDENTLY DETERMINE THEIR
RESPONSES TO COMPETITION
AND NOT ENTER INTO ANYAGREEMENT OR ARRANGEMENT THAT
PREVENTS, RESTRICTS OR DISTORTS COMPETITION.
