The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (the “GRA”), designated as the Gibraltar Competition and Markets Authority (the “GCMA”) has published a consultation aimed at producing certain guidelines and policy statements dealing with investigation procedures, interim measures in merger investigations, applications for leniency in cartel cases, cartel prosecutions and administrative penalties.
