어떤 발표인가

• This resolution also furthers the FTC’s efforts to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA) in cases where price discrimination harms consumers.
• The FTC opened an investigation into Gildan and S&S after becoming aware that S&S’s contract with Gildan prohibited Gildan from offering certain pricing and discounts given to S&S to S&S’s competitors.
• The FTC investigated Gildan for potential violations of Section 2(a) of the RPA, which prohibits sellers from engaging in certain price discrimination.
• The FTC also investigated whether S&S violated Section 2(f) of the RPA, which prohibits knowingly inducing or receiving prohibited price discrimination.
• In response to the FTC’s investigation, Gildan and S&S modified their agreement, which now provides: “Nothing in this Agreement restricts or restrains Gildan’s discretion to set prices or offer partnership support to any other North American wholesale distributor.” Given the changes Gildan and S&S have implemented, the FTC has now closed its investigation.
