CORE PRINCIPLES & GUIDELINES
GUIDE TO THE JIG CORE PRINCIPLES DOCUMENTS
Guidance for Users on Governance and Good Practices for the management of Competition Law requirements in operating facilities.
The JIG CORE PRINCIPLES are the foundations of the work done by the JIG Common Processes Committee. Originally developed to support the activities of Joint Ventures, they are appropriate for any User wishing to adopt operating practices to support their alignment with Competition Law.
Competition Law – and potential unintentional breaches – is always a factor when a single operator or joint venture has to handle sensitive commercial information in order to carry out its daily operations. The Core Principles give guidance on how this information, labelled “Sensitive Information” should be handled by the operator. The guidelines include such measures as aggregating information, ensuring there are firewalls between operations and commercial activities and defining clear qualification criteria for Board Members of operating companies.
