A new dawn for seizure of data: revised EC guidance on conduct of dawn raids
20 March 2013
The European Commission on 18 March 2013 issued revised guidance on the conduct of inspections at business premises of companies suspected of anticompetitive conduct. It is important that the principles from the revised guidance and certain recent cases are reflected in internal company policy/compliance programmes and that key messages on the importance of fully cooperating with dawn raid inspectors are received at all levels of the business.
