[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province will hold 'Fair Trade Education on Prevention of Bid Rigging and Other Cartels' on the 18th at the Anyang-Gwacheon Chamber of Commerce and Industry in collaboration with the Fair Trade Commission, a government agency, targeting corporate contract officers in the province.
This training is a follow-up measure to the 'Business Cooperation Agreement between Gyeonggi Province and the Fair Trade Commission for Eliminating Bid Rigging and Protecting Small and Medium Enterprises' signed in October last year, and has been organized to create a fair bidding environment within the province.
Main training topics include overall cartel regulations and related legal violation cases, as well as recent case law trends related to cartels.
Going forward, the province plans to continue collaborating with the Fair Trade Commission on training for contract department officers at the provincial government, cities, counties, and affiliated organizations, and will also review a regular fair trade education cooperation model.
An official from the Fair Trade Commission said, "This fair trade education initiative with Gyeonggi Province is a meaningful collaboration case between local and central government to improve unfair practices in the field," and added, "We will continue to promote cooperation with Gyeonggi Province."
Lee Shin-hye, head of the Fair Trade and Consumer Affairs Division of the province, stated, "This training will help prevent bid rigging issues in the province and contribute to establishing a fair economic order," and added, "We will also continuously build a cooperation system with the Fair Trade Commission and promote joint fair trade education on a regular basis."
