Many competition law statutes exempt such agreements from the conspiracy provisions provided that the cartel does not lead to injurious effects on competition in the domestic market, e.g., give rise to price fixing agreements or result in reduction in exports. The rationale for permitting export cartels is that it may facilitate cooperative penetration of foreign markets, transfer income from foreign consumers to domestic producers and result in a favourable balance of trade.”

No original: “We classify the legal treatment of export cartels into three groups: explicit exemptions, implicit exemptions and no statutory exemption. Explicit exemptions are created when a statute explicitly excludes export cartels from the substantive provisions regarding the scope of the antitrust law. (…) There are two types of explicit exemptions: those that require notification or authorization procedures, and those that do not. The notification procedures generally require businesses to apply for, and receive, permission from the government before, or concurrent with, participating in practices that may otherwise violate domestic antitrust law. (…) An implicit exemption for export cartels exists when a national antitrust statute applies only to anticompetitive conduct affecting the domestic market. Most countries (...), including almost all members of the EU, have implicit exemptions. Such an exemption is granted by negative implication, since the scope of the antitrust law is limited, and does not explicitly mention behavior affecting foreign markets. In some countries, there is no statutory exemption. (…) This occurs when price fixing is illegal, and there is not an implicit exemption, because the antitrust statute simply does not define the geographic scope of the market, nor is there an explicit exemption allowing price fixing for export-oriented activity. This category includes Luxembourg, Russia, Thailand, and Uruguay.”

Several countries, including developed and developing countries, maintain explicit exemptions for export cartels, some requiring notification of their activities and a few others requiring official authorization. If the relevant documents are in the public domain, foreign competition authorities can obtain information about the cartels’ existence and membership. However, implicit exclusion of export cartels from domestic antitrust laws effectively cloaks their cartels from foreign authorities.”

(…) The types of anti-competitive practices that had been discussed in the Working Group, including international cartels, export cartels and exclusionary practices with an international dimension, had clear distortionary effects on international trade as well as a harmful impact on development; accordingly, it was a bit strange to suggest that the WTO as an international organization should not concern itself with these practices.”

No original: “Whereas competition policy focused on the effect of enterprise behavior on the welfare of consumers, trade policy tended to focus on producer interests, and was more amenable to capture by special interest groups. Competition policy was described as being more concerned with protecting competition and trade measures with protecting competitors. It was also stated that, in addition to providing a measure of protection, trade policy often had objectives which could lead to divergences from competition policy goals, such as raising revenue, promoting self-sufficiency and encouraging exports. Another difference referred to in this connection was that, whereas nationality was a key element in trade policy, it was not generally a consideration in competition policy. On the other hand, it was suggested that competition policy was susceptible to application in ways that gave excessive weight to the interests of national consumers and producers, to the neglect of the interests of consumers in other countries - as evidenced, for example, in the exemption of export cartels from many countries' competition legislation. Moreover, the point was made that competition policy sometimes encompassed producer-oriented goals such as the protection of small businesses or the pursuit of national industrial policy.

No original: “The cost sharing and economies of scale achievable through joint marketing of exports often yield dramatic savings. Companies serving international markets can reduce costs by pooling marketing expenses and sharing distribution infrastructure such as port facilities and ships. They can also share the cost of gathering and analysing trade information concerning, for example, foreign credit and market conditions, transportation opportunities and shipping requirements. These reduced costs result in market growth and lower final costs to consumers around the world. Risk sharing is important as well, as many areas of the world are simply too risky for individual producers –particularly small firms– to make the sustained investments necessary to sell there.”

No original: “[E]xport cartels may maintain or create barriers to trade by forcing customers to pay high, non-competitive prices or by limiting the quantity of exports. In such cases they lead to a deliberalisation of international trade, which jeopardizes important economic goals, such as increasing economic efficiency and the optimum supply of commodities to consumers.”

No original: “It is easy to conceive that the efforts to achieve a common export policy and the exchange of information on prices, costs, production lines, capacities, sale policies, etc., may influence the domestic competitive conduct of participating firms. Thus, the “side effect” of most pure export cartels may be a restraint of domestic competition mainly through conscious parallelism. This is all the more likely when it is realized that many export agreements probably impose a cost on the parties concerned in the form of exports foregone. Not only will price rigidity imposed by an export agreement tend to prevent member firms from meeting foreign competition but the agreed price level itself will tend to reflect some average of the costs of all members rather than those of the most efficient members. If the more efficient firms incur losses in export markets the assumption must be made that they obtain compensating advantages on the domestic market by means of the restraints of competition previously mentioned.”

Where the cartel is trading with another developing state, no exemption should apply”.
