On February 8, 2012, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission ("TFTC") rendered its first decision after becoming an independent agency without Executive Yuan's supervision since February 2012. In the decision, the TFTC found that a total of 51 bottled liquid petroleum gas (LPG) suppliers located in Chia-yi City (collectively "Suppliers") had violated the cartel prohibition under the Fair Trade Act ("FTA") for increasing the retail price of LPG products simultaneously, which had affected competition in Chia-yi City's LPG market. Consequently, the TFTC imposed fines ranging from NT$4 million to NT$50,000 on each Supplier. The fines imposed by the TFTC in the case is NT$10.15 million in total.
