Upon the completion of an investigation into an activity within a specific sector which may be in breach of the Fair Competition Act 2009 the Commission produces a report which provides the relevant information on the matter being complained about, the outcome of the investigation and the final decision taken.
Upon receipt of a complaint by the Commission, the FTC Staff shall evaluate the complaint and where it is of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds for an investigation to be carried out, shall inform the Chief Executive Officer of its opinion and the reasons thereof. After examining the proposals of the Commission’s Staff, the Chief Executive Officer may decide to start the investigation. Upon the completion of an investigation, where it finds that there has been a breach of the Fair Competition Act 2009, a report is prepared by the Commission and submitted to the Board of Commissioners.
