In assessing the effectiveness of the Act, the Commission believes that there are five key areas that arise directly from the Terms of Reference which it has addressed in chapters 2-6 of this submission. These are: introducing criminal sanctions for hard-core cartels ; introducing an effects test into s. 46 (misuse of market power), along with an enhanced ability for prompt action against misuse of market power ... ; amending the authorisation process as it applies to collective bargaining by small business, particularly in the rurar sector ; assessing the effectiveness of the merger provisions and processes for merger review, and ; reviewing whether the Act provides adequate protection for the commercial affairs and reputation of individuals and corporations."--P. 7-8.
