编者按：

2019年6月10日，McDermott Will Emery律师事务所发布了《美国、欧盟卡特尔快照：年中盘点》，归纳并评点了2019年上半年美国和欧盟两大法域的卡特尔执法进展。本文选取、翻译了文章部分内容。

美国司法部（DOJ）反垄断部门宣布了三项新的调查和其他若干调查的进展，包含商业地板行业、政府剩余设备的在线拍卖和绝缘安装合同的新调查。反垄断部门还发布了反垄断部门2019年春季更新，载明该部门“正在准备对于六件事项的审判，并在2018财年结束前进行91场待审的大陪审团调查。”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division announced three new investigations and several developments in its other investigations, including new investigations in the commercial flooring industry, online auctions for surplus government equipment and insulation installation contracts. The Antitrust Division also released its Spring 2019 Division Update, which notes that the Division \"is preparing for trial in six matters and had 91 pending grand jury investigations at the close of FY 2018.\"

2019年4月，反垄断部门举行了关于《反垄断刑事处罚加强和改革法》（ACPERA）的公开圆桌讨论，该法案将于明年落地。《反垄断刑事处罚加强和改革法》（ACPERA）根据该部门的宽恕计划，对于因为在卡特尔和其他反竞争行为调查时实施合作而获得宽恕处理的企业和个人，减轻其刑事责任和民事赔偿责任。圆桌会议由一系列小组讨论组成，法官、律师、经济学家、学者、商界和其他感兴趣的利益相关者权衡着如何改善法律。该部门对公众对于《反垄断刑事处罚加强和改革法》（ACPERA）是否适当激励自我报告犯罪行为，以及是否存在阻碍法律发挥预期效果的问题的看法特别感兴趣。

In April 2019, the Division held a public roundtable discussion on the Antitrust Criminal Penalty Enhancement Reform Act (ACPERA), which is due to sunset next year. ACPERA reduces the criminal liability and civil damages exposure of companies and individuals who are granted leniency under the Division\'s Leniency Program for cooperating in investigations into cartel and other anticompetitive conduct. The roundtable consisted of a series of panel discussions allowing judges, attorneys, economists, academics, the business community and other interested stakeholders to weigh in on how the law can be improved. The Division was particularly interested in the public\'s views on whether ACPERA has properly incentivized the self-reporting of criminal conduct and whether there are issues that have impeded the law\'s intended effect.

欧盟委员会则公布了汽车零部件行业正在进行的调查、政府债券案件和汽车排放案件的发展。同时还发布了一项新的在线工具，便于企业提交陈述和文件，作为卡特尔案件中宽恕处理和解决程序的一部步骤。

The European Commission (Commission) announced developments in on going investigations in the auto parts industry, and in its government bonds and car emissions cases. The Commission also launched a new online tool to make it easier for companies to submit statements and documents as part of leniency and settlement proceedings in cartel cases.

美国司法部（DOJ）披露的第一项新调查涉及商业地板行业。美国司法部（DOJ）指控芝加哥一家商业地板承包商的前职副总裁与其竞争对手交换价格信息，以固定拆除和安装商业地板的合同价格。反垄断部的司法部长助理Delrahim表示，该份起诉书是“商业地板行业中，我们预计正在进行的大量的投标操纵调查中的第一个案件。”

The first new investigation disclosed by the DOJ is in the commercial flooring industry. The DOJ charged a former vice president of a commercial flooring contractor in Chicago of exchanging price information with its rivals to fix prices of contracts for removal and installation of commercial flooring. Assistant Attorney General Delrahim of the Antitrust Division said that the indictment \"is the first of what we expect to be many in this ongoing investigation into bid rigging\" in the commercial flooring industry.

美国司法部（DOJ）披露的第二项新调查涉及政府服务管理局（GSA）合同的操纵投标。德克萨斯州一家公司的所有者供认了在政府服务管理局（GSA）的线上拍卖中操纵剩余政府设备——电脑的转售和回收的投标。

The DOJ disclosed a second new investigation into bid rigging of Government Services Administration (GSA) contracts. The owner of a Texas company pleaded guilty to rigging bids for surplus government equipment—computers for resale and for recycling—in online GSA auctions.

美国司法部（DOJ）披露的第三项新调查涉及绝缘安装承包商的操纵投标。总部位于康涅狄格州的绝缘安装承包商的经理，供认了在2011年至2018年期间涉嫌操纵新英格兰绝缘安装合同投标，价值达4500万美元。

The DOJ announced a third new investigation into bid rigging by insulation installation contractors. A manager for a Connecticut-based insulation contractor pleaded guilty for his role in rigging $45 million worth of bids for insulation installation contracts in New England from 2011 to 2018.

美国司法部（DOJ）积极开展对武装部队燃料供应合同的调查。新增两家韩国公司供认了其参与针对在韩美国武装部队供应燃料合同的操纵投标的共谋行为。

同时，美国司法部（DOJ）也相当关注促销产品领域的固定价格的调查。

The DOJ\'s investigation into fuel-supply contracts for the armed services remains active. Two more Korean companies pleaded guilty for their involvement in a bid-rigging conspiracy that targeted contracts to supply fuel to US Armed Forces in South Korea.

The DOJ\'s investigation into price fixing in the promotional products space appears quite active.

2019年5月，43个州和波多黎各的州司法部长对18家仿制药制造商和15名自然人，因涉嫌参与对至少114种仿制药固定价格的“史无前例的合谋行为”，提起了联邦和州际的反垄断法、消费者保护法和普通法指控。各州于2018年6月提起18起针对药品共谋行为的指控，而这回他们的新诉讼指向了整个行业的共谋行为。

In May 2019, state attorneys general for 43 states and Puerto Rico brought federal and state antitrust, consumer protection and common law claims against 18 generic drug manufacturers and 15 individuals for what the States call an \"overarching conspiracy\" to fix the prices of at least 114 generic drugs. The States\' June 2018 complaint alleged 18 drug-specific conspiracies, whereas their new complaint alleges an industry-wide conspiracy.
