Description of Conduct

On 17 September 2012, Narta International Pty Ltd (Narta) applied for authorisation for 10 years for its members to enter into and give effect to an amended version of clause 5.8 of Narta's Code of Conduct under which members would agree to abide by any minimum advertising price as set by Narta from time to time. This will enable it to impose a minimum advertising price (MAP) on a range of goods collectively acquired by its members, namely Beko branded electrical goods, new release electrical products or exclusive models of electrical goods. The level of the MAP would be set by Narta senior management and notified to members. Narta would not impose limitations or restrictions on a member's actual selling prices.

On 11 April 2013, the ACCC issued a determination denying authorisation for these arrangements.
