LINK Interchange Network Limited
No. CP/0642/00/S
16 October 2001
The Director General of Fair Trading has concluded that the centrally set multilateral interchange fee in the arrangements for the operation of the LINK network appreciably prevents, restricts or distorts competition but that the requirements for individual exemption are met. The other agreements for the operation of the LINK network which were notified by LINK do not infringe the Chapter I prohibition.
The public were consulted about the Director General of Fair Trading's proposal to issue an individual exemption. A notice was issued on 30 July 2001. No substantive responses to the public consultation were received.
