Subject: Correspondence from the ACCC re exclusive dealing notifications N98175 - N98177 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Security Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

Dear Ms Owen

I refer to the third line forcing notifications lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) by The Yamu Limited, Travelrite International Pty Ltd and The Australian Ballet on 16 March 2015. They have been allocated the registration numbers N98175 to N98177. The notifications and this email will be placed on the ACCC’s public register which is available on the ACCC’s website.

The protection from legal action provided by the notifications commences automatically 14 days after the lodgement date, unless the ACCC objects.

On the basis of the information that you have provided, and that the parties will disclose all relevant terms and conditions to customers, the ACCC does not object to the notifications at this time.

If at any time circumstances change, or the ACCC receives further information, such that it is satisfied that the public benefits from the third line forcing conduct do not outweigh the public detriments, the ACCC may remove the protection provided by the notifications.

Please contact Anna Giannakos on 03 9290 6920 or by email to adjudication@accc.gov.au if you have any questions about this matter.

Regards

Dr Richard Chadwick
