Cartels are agreements to fix prices, share markets, limit production or engage in bid-rigging or collusive tendering. Cartels are illegal throughout the European Union. Indeed, throughout the world, cartels are recognised as the most serious breach of competition law. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) in conjunction with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) operates a Cartel Immunity Programme.?
