The Federal Trade Commission has appointed Theodore L. Banks, Esq., to monitor Coca-Cola Company’s compliance with the FTC order settling charges that the company’s acquisition of Coca-Cola Enterprises, its largest North American bottler, would be anticompetitive. The order, which requires Coca-Cola to restrict its access to confidential competitive business information of rival Dr Pepper Snapple Group, allows the FTC to appoint a monitor.
The Commission vote approving Banks as the monitor and the related monitor agreement was 4-0-1, with Commissioner Edith Ramirez recused. (FTC File No. 101-0107; the staff contact is Jill M.
