The Italian Competition Authority ("ICA") adopted new compliance antitrust guidelines on 25 September 2018 ("Guidelines").

Based on the ICA's considerable experience with antitrust compliance matters, the Guidelines significantly modify, both in form and in substance, the provisions set out in the 2014 ICA guidelines on the criteria to be used to quantify fines.
