Joint Antitrust Workshops Continue
Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:01:27 CSTNow that you have your new 2010 calendar opened you could add these important meetings. Attorney General Eric Holder and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will continue to hold joint public workshops to explore competition issues affecting the agriculture industry. They are looking for the appropriate role for antitrust and regulatory enforcement.
The workshops will provide an opportunity for farmers, ranchers, consumer groups, processors, the agribusinesses, and other interested parties to provide examples of potentially anticompetitive conduct. The workshops will also provide an opportunity for discussion for any concerns about the application of the antitrust laws to the agricultural industry.
National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson believes it is vital to the nation’s producers to address these concerns, and asks USDA and DOJ to establish a constant dialogue concerning market control and antitrust concerns in the agriculture industry.
More information on the workshops can be found at the Department of Justice website or by clicking here.
