| Abstract: | The Anti-Monopoly-Law came into effect in Japan after the occupation by the American forces after World War II, though it was rarely applied throughout a long period after the withdrawl of the US troops. So internal verbal agreements among competitors emerged. The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) attempts to counteract these agreements. The FTC consists of a chairman, four commissioners and approximately 500 employees. There are two procedures for investigating possible violations of the Anti-Monopol-Law: 1. A "hearing" during which the enterprise concerned is given the chance to defend itself before legal measures are taken. 2: "Recommendation" in which without a court hearing the necessary steps to be taken are explained to the firm. Since 1990 the number of recorded agreements has increased. There are various explanations for this development. |
