Competition Law

IMCA's requirement for compliance with all applicable competition law is enshrined in the IMCA Constitution as follows:

"The Association, its regional sections and all committees will comply with all applicable competition law (competition, antitrust and similar laws) including those of the United States of America, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries in which the association is active."

Every IMCA meeting - including committees, workgroups, regional sections and seminars - begins with a statement of this policy as item one on its agenda. Guidelines on how compliance is achieved and maintained are provided to all current and prospective IMCA members and circulated to all participants in IMCA's committees and workgroups.

Anybody wishing to discuss any aspects of competition law and how the association facilitates open dialogue between industry partners to raise awareness of industry matters including contracting issues should contact Hugh Williams, IMCA Chief Executive.
