This Order amends the Competition Act 1998 (Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption) Order 2001 (SI 2001/319) (“the 2001 Order”). The 2001 Order is a block exemption order under section 6 of the Competition Act 1998 (“the Act”). It gives effect to the OFT’s recommendation that public transport ticketing schemes (as defined in Article 3 of the 2001 Order) for local transport services constitute a category of agreements which are likely to be agreements to which section 9 (now section 9(1)) of the Act applies. Agreements which fall within the category specified in the 2001 Order are exempt from the prohibition in Chapter 1 of the Act.
