The Trade Competition Board (TCB) yesterday agreed to press its unfair-trade charges against AP Honda, the local distributor of Honda motorcycles, saying the case now hinges on prosecutors.
Commerce Minister Boonsong Teriyapirom said additional inquiries and investigation results about the charges as required by the Attorney-General's Office are complete and the board sees fit to forward unfair trade charges against AP Honda before the statute of limitations expires in April.
The case, based on distributors' complaints, dates back to 2003, when the TCB ruled that AP Honda had violated Section 29 of the Trade Competition Act by indirectly forcing its agents to distribute only Honda motorcycles.
