Antitrust Guidelines

In all NGA operations and activities, you must avoid any discussions or conduct that might violate the antitrust laws or even raise an appearance of impropriety. The following guidelines will help you do that:

  • Do consult counsel about any documents that touch on sensitive antitrust subjects such as pricing, market allocations, refusals to deal with any company, and the like.
  • Do consult with counsel on any non-routine correspondence that requests an NGA member company to participate in projects or programs, submit data for such activities, or otherwise join other member companies in NGA actions.
  • Do use an agenda and take accurate minutes at every meeting. Have counsel review the agenda and minutes before they are put into final form and circulated and request counsel to attend meetings where sensitive antitrust subjects may arise.
  • Do provide these guidelines to all meeting participants.
  • Do not, without prior review by counsel, have discussions with other member companies about:
    • your company’s prices for products, assets or services, or prices charged by your competitors
    • costs, discounts, terms of sale, profit margins or anything else that might affect those prices
    • the resale prices your customers should charge for products or assets you sell them
    • allocating markets, customers, territories products or assets with your competitors
    • limiting production
    • whether or not to deal with any other company
    • any competitively sensitive information concerning your own company or a competitor’s.
  • Do not stay at a meeting, or any other gathering, if those kinds of discussions are taking place.
  • Do not discuss any other sensitive antitrust subjects (such as price discrimination, reciprocal dealing, or exclusive dealing agreements) without first consulting counsel.
  • Do not create any documents or other records that might be misinterpreted to suggest that NGA condones or is involved in anticompetitive behavior.
