Checklist for efficient and effective leniency programmes (2017)

The Cartel Working Group has produced a concise document which lists the legal and enforcement prerequisites to an effective and efficient leniency programme, such as the setting of thresholds to obtain leniency, the criteria for significant added value (SAV), rewards for leniency cooperation, leniency programmes under administrative and criminal procedure. The checklist is particularly useful for young competition authorities which plan to elaborate their leniency regimes.
