ACCC launches ACCCount

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has launched a new quarterly publication, ACCCount, which details its activities.

"The ACCC promotes competition and informed markets, encouraging fair trading; and protecting consumers," ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel, said today.

"Its actions affect almost every aspect of Australian life.

"It is appropriate that reports of its activities are readily accessible to the Australian public on a regular basis.

"This builds on the ACCC's commitment to an open and transparent agency and increases our accountability to the Australian community.

"ACCCount details the ACCC's activities in the enforcement of the Trade Practices Act 1974, merger reviews, compliance initiatives, adjudication issues, economic regulation, international cooperation and interaction with other Australian competition, consumer protection and regulatory agencies.

"It will provide a regular briefing on whole-of-Commission work for any given quarter.

"ACCCount will be widely distributed and available online on the ACCC website, see link below.

"Those who wish to subscribe to ACCCount can do so using the link below."
