South African Institute for Drug Free Sport Act, 1997
R 385
Competition Act, 1998 (Act No. 89 of 1998)NoticesGuidelines on collaboration in the implementation of the South African Value Chain Sugarcane Master Plan to 20307. Conclusion |
| 7.1. | These Guidelines set out the Commission’s approach to collaboration in the implementation of the sugar industry commitments to increasing local procurement of sugar in support of the objective of stabilising and restructuring the sugar industry within the context of the implementation of the Sugar Master Plan. In accordance with the provisions of section 79(4) of the Act, the Commission will not regard the collaboration on local sugar procurement that is conducted in accordance with these Guidelines as a contravention of section 4(1) of the Act. |
| 7.2. | These Guidelines do not set out all the permutations of collaboration that may be required to increase local procurement of sugar and do not fetter the discretion of the Commission to consider other forms of collaboration on local procurement on a case-by-case basis, considering the market context and the nature of the collaboration. |
| 7.3. | Should market participants be uncertain as to whether any other collaboration on increasing local procurement of sugar may potentially contravene the Act, they may approach the Commission for further guidance. |
