industry to rely on one supplier, ETA, for the bulk of and parts production. The Swiss Competition Commission ordered ETA to continue supplying to companies outside The Swatch Group during the investigation. In 2005 the Swiss Competition Commission concluded its investigation and ordered ETA to continue delivering and parts at the then current levels until 2008, after which ETA was allowed to gradually reduce deliveries until 2010. The Commission had found that for in the price range up to US$250, there were no real alternatives and ETA's decision to stop deliveries was a breach of Swiss law pertaining to cartels. Although the 2005 decision has spurred some watchmakers to invest in the personnel and equipment necessary to produce movements in-house, heavy reliance on ETA continued. The original finding has been extended, with the Swiss Competition Commission ordering in July 2012 that based on 2010 supply levels, ETA may reduce the level of supplied movements by 30 per cent in 2014-2015, 50 per cent in 2016-2017 and by 70 per cent by 2018-2019. The number of Nivarox products that must be offered will be reduced gradually, dropping by 70 per cent by 2023. ETA hopes to eventually reach a market position where they are allowed to freely choose to supply or not to supply parts and to competitors based solely on ETA's discretion.
