5. INFORMATION SHARING: BARRIERS AND CHALLENGES Legal Framework. Newly created Leniency Regime.  Even though the FNE was created in 1963, an amendment to competition law introduced a provision on leniency applications only in 2009. Therefore, FNE´s experience in investigating international cartels following leniency applications is very recent. Leniency and waivers are also new to local defense bar.
