Outside of regional cooperation mechanisms available to the SCA, there is no specific legal basis for notifications. The authority notifies jurisdictions in line with Section V of the 2014 Recommendation concerning International Co-operation on Competition Investigations and Proceedings. This is typically in the case of mergers where the SCA intends to pose questions to a third party located in another jurisdiction. This is in line with the recommendation that notification should be made when “formally seeking non-public information located in another Adherent”.
