The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) covers most areas of the market: the
relationships between suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. Even though each
country has your own rules and codes all of them have to find a way to follow the CCA
according.
It covers anti-competitive conduct, price fixing, unconscionable conduct and other issues,
such as advertising.
The Act also sets out consumers' rights and responsibilities. It covers areas such as returns,
refunds, warranties, contracts, marketing and advertising.

13. How does the World Trade Organization affect business operations, codes of practice and
national standards of Australian trade?

Australia's economy relies on a strong and open global trading environment. The Australian
Government is strongly committed to the WTO and its framework of rules, which helps
promote and protect the open global trading system.
As the WTO operates by consensus, every member's opinion have the same weight, and all
Members must agree before a decision can be made.
Australia is also committed to reforming the WTO to ensure it can function more effectively,
and continues to meet the needs of Members and business in today’s modern global trading
environment.
The way it can affect business is that some countries could be more benefit than other
depending on each rule.
