Wake-up Call: GSA Launches Requirement for Schedule Contractors to Reaffirm TAA Compliance
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.06.16
Concerned with repeated instances of FOIA requests and congressional inquiries exposing contractors offering products not compliant with the Trade Agreements Act on their Federal Supply Schedule contracts, on May 5, 2016, GSA began notifying several contractors that, within five business days, they would need to provide certification that products offered were TAA-compliant or remove them from their offering. The breadth of this initiative continues to unfold, but it serves as a caution for contractors to reevaluate their supply chain and the manner in which they offer products on their FSS contracts under the complex “substantial transformation” rules for establishing country-of-origin under the TAA.

Important EU Court Judgment Clarifies Rules on Interest Due in Cartel Damages Cases
In a judgment that will have direct and immediate consequences, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has clarified that for all competition damages actions brought after 26 December 2014, interest runs from the date on which the harm occurred. The ruling addressed two important questions: (1) whether national provisions implementing Article 3(2) of the EU Damages Directive — which requires interest to run from the date harm occurred —apply to cases in which the harm preceded the adoption of those provisions; and (2) how the date of harm should be determined in cartel cases involving the purchase of goods at inflated prices.
