Consultation description

We are inviting views on a Draft Addendum to the CMA’s Guidance on Applications for leniency and no-action in cartel cases, OFT1495, which provides information about the way in which the CMA will exercise its discretion to grant Type B leniency in RPM cases.

The Draft Addendum is intended to clarify the CMA’s approach, following reflection on its experience of applying its leniency policy in relation to RPM cases in practice.

The CMA will publish in due course the final outcome of this consultation, taking into account the comments received in response to it.
