s 34 Agreements, etc., preventing, restricting or distorting competition

34.—(1) Subject to section 35, agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings or concerted practices which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within Singapore are prohibited unless they are exempt in accordance with the provisions of this Part. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), agreements, decisions or concerted practices may, in particular, have the object or effect of preventing, restricting or distorting competition within Singapore if they —(a) directly or indirectly fix purchase or selling prices or any other trading conditions; (b) limit or control production, markets, technical development or investment; (c) share markets or sources of supply; (d) apply dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions with other trading parties, thereby placing them at a competitive disadvantage; or (e) make the conclusion of contracts subject to acceptance by the other parties of supplementary obligations which, by their nature or according to commercial usage, have no connection with the subject of such contracts. (3) Any provision of any agreement or any decision which is prohibited by subsection (1) is void on or after 1 January 2006 to the extent that it infringes that subsection. (4) Unless the context otherwise requires, a provision of this Act which is expressed to apply to, or in relation to, an agreement is to be read as applying, with the necessary modifications, equally to, or in relation to, a decision by an association of undertakings or a concerted practice. (5) Subsection (1) applies to agreements, decisions and concerted practices implemented before, on or after 1 January 2006.
