Trade restrictions and international companies

Abstract

The development of international trade is making it increasingly necessary to have complete information about legislation relating to practices which restrain competition or which are liable to create positions of market dominance. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (O.E.C.D.) is studying the problems arising from restrictive business practices, and has made a Guide available for businessmen, government officials, lawyers and research workers which will enable them to keep abreast of European and North American laws governing restrictive business practices and their application. The first edition of the Guide was published in 1960. Since 1962 the second edition, which gives an outline of the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices law in a series of countries, has been running on a continuing basis, with regular supplements.
