ASuperintendência-Geral do Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (SG/Cade) lançou, nesta terça-feira (02/04), o Manual para Uso de Trustee. O objetivo da publicação é formalizar, uniformizar e aprimorar a fiscalização do cumprimento das decisões, compromissos e acordos adotados no âmbito de controle de estruturas ou de investigações de condutas anticompetitivas que pressuponham a implementação de remédios em que a limitação de recursos impeça que os dados e informações gerados no monitoramento sejam processados pela própria agência concorrencial ou que exijam uma expertise que a autarquia não detém.
Trustees são terceiros independentes contratados pelos administrados sujeitos a remédios antitruste, a pedido das autoridades concorrenciais, para auxiliá-las no monitoramento do cumprimento decisões, compromissos e acordos adotados, seja pela falta de recursos disponíveis ou pela necessidade de expertise específica para execução de alguma tarefa ou adoção de medida necessária para implementação de remédios mais complexos.
Esses profissionais são responsáveis pela execução de procedimentos, sob ordens do Cade, nos processos de fiscalização do cumprimento das decisões, compromissos e acordos aprovados pelo Tribunal Administrativo.
O documento foi elaborado com base em revisão de guias, estudos e precedentes do Cade, além de benchmark internacional, e contou com a contribuição de consultoria internacional, como parte de esforços para o aprimoramento institucional da fiscalização das decisões, compromissos e acordos da autoridade antitruste.
O manual reúne os melhores procedimentos e práticas a serem observados para a adoção de trustees ou similares, como monitores, auditores independentes, mandatários, dentre outros.
Vale ressaltar que a publicação é um documento orientativo, portanto não possui caráter normativo e não é vinculativo. Dessa forma, os processos, etapas de análise, prazos e modelos indicados devem ser observados quando possível, e a não observância estrita do manual não acarreta qualquer tipo de nulidade na fiscalização do cumprimento das decisões, compromissos e acordos aprovados pelo Cade.

Case information
12 July 2022: the CMA launched an investigation under section 25 of the Competition Act 1998 (‘CA98’) into suspected infringements of the Chapter I prohibition of the CA98 by undertakings involved in the production and broadcasting of sports content.
The investigation concerns the activities of these undertakings in relation to the purchase of freelance services which support the production and broadcasting of sports content in the UK.
The CMA is investigating suspected breaches of competition law by at least the following:
- the British Broadcasting Corporation
- BT Group PLC
- IMG Media Limited (including Premier League Productions)
- ITV PLC
- Sky UK Limited
- Sunset & Vine Productions Limited
At this stage the CMA believes it has reasonable grounds to suspect one or more breaches of competition law. The CMA has not reached a view as to whether there is sufficient evidence of an infringement of competition law for it to issue a statement of objections to any party or parties. Not all cases result in the CMA issuing a statement of objections and no assumption should be made at this stage that the CA98 has been infringed.
Personal data
The CMA may collect, use and share personal data for its investigations, including investigations under the CA98. This includes processing personal data for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
