It is now widely recognized that hard core cartels, or agreements among competitors to fix prices, restrict output, submit collusive tenders (so-called bid rigging) or share markets, are one of the most serious and harmful forms of anti-competitive conduct. As a result, countries are increasing their efforts to combat this conduct. In OECD countries and elsewhere in the world, prohibition against hard core cartels is now considered to be an indispensable part of a domestic competition law.
