AAIA Releases Updated Antitrust Compliance Statement of Policy

In light of recent allegations of anticompetitive conduct
in the aftermarket auto lights industry, the Automotive Aftermarket Industry
Association has reviewed and updated its Antitrust Compliance Statement of
Policy.

"Although AAIA is not aware of any allegations
against AAIA of anticompetitive conduct, AAIA and its members must nevertheless
remain vigilant to ensure full and complete compliance with the antitrust
laws," said AAIA President and CEO Kathleen Schmatz. "With this in
mind, AAIA has reviewed and updated the Antitrust Compliance Statement of
Policy for the AAIA. This Statement of Policy sets forth our commitment to
compliance with the antitrust laws and provides examples of the most critical
‘Do’s and Don’ts’ for antitrust compliance as related to member participation
in AAIA activities."

Schmatz is asking AAIA members to review the Statement of Policy and voice any questions, comments or concerns. 

"AAIA has a long history of full and complete compliance with federal and state antitrust laws and we look to our members to help conduct our association in such a way as to avoid any potential antitrust exposure in the first instance," said Schmatz.
