It is my intention to release proposals regarding changes to the Competition Act during 2017, following a further round of engagements with practitioners during the latter part of 2016. As the various matters that may form the subject of the proposals are currently being reviewed, details of the proposed changes are not yet available for release. The review covers areas such as the efficacy of the administration of the Competition Act, procedural aspects in the investigation and prosecution of offences, matters relating to abuse of dominance, more effective investigations against cartels and the current public interest provisions of the Act. Not all of these areas will necessarily result in a review of the Act.
