Antitrust Guidelines
GENERAL GUIDES APPLICABLE TO ALL CEA ACTIVITIES
These general guides are applicable to all Consumer Electronics
Association activities. They are required to be read and followed by
all members of the Association and staff, chairs and members of all
committees, councils, sections, divisions and other CEA-sponsored
groups.
I. IMPROPER ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS
CEA activities or programs relating to any of the following subjects
are improper and are not permitted:
(1)Restraint of Trade Agreements. The establishment of prices,
production quotas, or uniformity of conduct, the allocation
of customers or markets, standard terms or conditions of
sale, boycotts, or other competitive restraints are improper
activities. Therefore, any activities within, or in conjunction
with, Association meetings relating to any of these matters are
improper and committee chairs, staff and participants should
take affirmative action to assure that no such discussions are
initiated or pursued.
(2)Prices and Pricing Policies. Any consideration or discussion
of product prices or industry pricing policies is improper and
therefore not permitted. This applies to all discussion and
casual remarks relating to individual company prices, changes
in prices, or general price level whether involving formal or
informal exchanges between participating representatives.
Such discussions are improper and must be avoided.
(3)Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Sale. Any discussion at,
or in conjunction with, CEA meetings of terms and conditions
of purchase and sale, including but not limited to warranty and
warranty periods, discounts, allowances, or terms of credit, or
the formulation of uniform or standard terms and conditions of
purchase or sale, uniform basing points or zoning prices, or the
recommendation thereof for voluntary use by the membership
also is improper and is prohibited. It is usually proper, however,
to discuss and propose comments and recommendations to
Government agencies.
(4)Costs. Programs or activities involving the exchange of
information relating to individual company costs of production
or distribution and any formulas for computing such costs are
improper. Discussions at CEA meetings of industry costs are
normally not permitted.
(5)Future Plans. Programs involving the exchange of company
information relating to future plans affecting the design,
research and development, production and distribution or
marketing of products are also improper. Any discussion at
CEA meetings relating to such programs are not permitted.
(6)Boycotting Customers or Products. Any activity involving the
black listing or boycotting of customers, competitors, suppliers,
or other or establishment of patterns of uniform dealing
is improper. Therefore, there shall be no activities relating
to any form of boycotting or any activity, which may be
interpreted as such.
II. PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING ACTIVITIES
(1)Notices and Agendas. Notices and agendas for CEA meetings
shall be prepared in advance and distributed prior to the date
of the meeting. Agendas shall not include any subjects which
are stated as improper for consideration or discussion under
these guidelines. All agendas otherwise shall be in conformity
with rules established or specifically approved by the General
Counsel. Whenever feasible, background information which
would be helpful in the consideration of items on the agenda
should be distributed in advance of meetings.
(2)Conduct of Meetings. All meetings shall be conducted in
such a way as to assure ample opportunity and freedom in
the exchange of ideas and an equal voice in all decisions.
Committee chairs and CEA staff personnel shall make sure
that all actions and discussion at meetings are kept within the
bounds of proper Association activity. Committee chairs should
immediately rule out of order discussion deemed improper
or questionable under the policies set forth herein until the
propriety of such discussion has been determined by General
Counsel. Committee chairs should follow the published agenda
and not depart therefrom except for a good and legitimate
reason, in which event the minutes should record the reasons
for such departure.
(3)Voting in Committees. All Committees shall adopt rules
consistent with these guidelines to ensure that each company
represented shall be entitled to vote in a manner which will
give equal weight to the vote of each company represented on
the Committee, regardless of the number of representatives
from any one company, if there should be more than one.
(4)Preparation and Review of Minutes. Minutes of all meetings
shall be taken and recorded. Minutes shall include the time
and place of the meeting, a list of all committee members and
nonmembers attending, a statement of matters discussed
and actions taken and a record of all voting. All minutes
of meetings shall be approved by general counsel before
distribution. Upon approval, they should be distributed to all
members of the committee and any other CEA members
desiring or requesting copies.
(5)Fiduciary Responsibility. CEA members, especially members of
any Board, have a fiduciary obligation to CEA. This obligation
extends to maintaining confidentiality and disclosing any nonobvious conflicts of interest. Issues discussed and agreed upon
in CEA meetings should be disclosed to media only through
CEA offices.
