SINGAPORE: The Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) has found 11 modelling agencies to have engaged in anti-competitive practices.

The eleven include Ave Management, Bees Work Casting and Mannequin Studio.

List of Modelling Agencies:
1) Ave Management Pte Ltd
2) Bees Work Casting Pte Ltd
3) Catworkz International Pte Ltd
4) Diva Models (S) Pte Ltd
5) Electra Management
6) Impact Models Studio
7) Linsan Models
8) Looque Models Singapore Pte Ltd
9) Mannequin Studio Pte Ltd
10) Phantom Management Pte Ltd
11) Quest Model Management

CCS said the 11 modelling agencies were found to have coordinated and collectively raised rates for a wide range of modelling services in Singapore.

This is a contravention of Section 34 of the Competition Act.

CCS says it has issued a Proposed Infringement Decision (PID) against the 11 modelling agencies.

The PID is a written notice setting out the basis for CCS' decision and allows the agencies to submit their arguments and any other information for consideration, before the commission finalises its decision on whether there has been an infringement.

The 11 modelling agencies have until the end of June to make their representations.
