Part 2: Competition The Chapter 1 and 2 prohibitions Section 120: Repeal of exclusions relating to the European Coal and Steel Community
This section repeals paragraph 8 in Schedule 3 to the Competition Act 1998 in order to remove a provision which has been redundant since the expiry of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and make other consequential provision. Schedule 3 sets out general exclusions to the Chapter I and II prohibitions in the Competition Act 1998. Paragraph 8 provided an exclusion for agreements and conduct relating to coal or steel products to the extent to which the European Coal and Steel Community gave the European Community exclusive jurisdiction in the matter. The provision has had no effect since the Treaty expired in 2002.
