The Authority for Consumers and Markets - ACM (Autoriteit Consument en Markt)

Under Section 2 and 3 of the Act, the duty to ensure that undertakings comply with competition rules lies with the ACM, which brings together since 1 April 2013, the Competition Authority (Nederlandse Mededingingsautoriteit), the Independent Post and Telecommunications Authority (Onafhankelijke Post en Telecommunicatie Autoriteit) and the Consumer Authority (Consumentenautoriteit).

The ACM is headed by a Board and is composed of a Policy and Communications Department and six operational departments: the Consumer Department, the Energy Department, the Telecommunications, Transport and Postal Services Department, the Competition Department, the Legal Department and the Corporate Services Department. 

The ACM is empowered to grant exemptions, supervise compliance with the Act, investigate infringements and impose penalties.

Under Section 4 of the Act, the Minister of Economic Affairs determines the remuneration and other rules regarding the legal position of the members of the ACM. The Minister also approves the “management rules” adopted by the ACM. However, with its independent status of Autonomous Administrative Authority, the Minister is no longer responsible for providing instructions to the ACM. Nevertheless, it still receives an annual report from the ACM that he is required to notify both Houses (Section 5c).
