The OFT will issue a fresh draft Opinion for consultation on the compatibility of newspaper and magazine distribution agreements with competition law. This decision follows an internal review, requested by senior management in the light of consultation responses received following the provisional conclusions set out in the draft Opinion published last year.
The OFT will publish its new draft Opinion, setting out its provisional views and the reasons for them, by the end of May 2006. At that point, all interested parties will have the opportunity to submit their views to the case team before the OFT proceeds to its final Opinion, which it aims to publish by the autumn.
Since all interested parties will be given the opportunity to comment upon the draft Opinion, the OFT will not respond individually to submissions or representations made before the publication of the draft Opinion.
NOTES
1. The OFT published a draft advisory Opinion for consultation on 19 May 2005 (see press release 88/05).
