If an enterprise has committed an act in violation of the provisions of Article 19 (limited to an act that falls under Article 2, paragraph (9), item (v) and that is committed continuously), the Japan Fair Trade Commission must order the enterprise, pursuant to the procedures provided in Section 2 of Chapter VIII, to pay to the national treasury a surcharge in an amount equivalent to one percent of the amount of sales during the violation period, calculated using the method provided by Cabinet Order with respect to the counterparty to the act in violation (or, if the act in violation is directed at a counterparty from whom goods or services are received, the amount of purchases calculated using the method provided by Cabinet Order with respect to the counterparty to the act in violation; and if there are multiple counterparties to the act in violation, the total sum of the amounts of sales or purchases calculated using the method provided by Cabinet Order with respect to each counterparty to the act in violation) provided, however, that if that amount is less than one million yen, the Japan Fair Trade Commission may not order payment of the surcharge.

Fair Trade Commission
公正取引委員会
The body the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade (独占禁止法, the Antimonopoly Act) sets up to achieve that Act's purpose — among other things, to promote fair and free competition by banning private monopolization, unreasonable restraint of trade and unfair trade practices, and so to protect the interests of general consumers and the democratic and sound development of the national economy (Antimonopoly Act, Articles 1 and 27, paragraph (1)). It comes under the Prime Minister's jurisdiction, but its chairperson and four commissioners — appointed by the Prime Minister with the consent of both Houses of the Diet — exercise their authority independently (Articles 27, paragraph (2), 28 and 29). Under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, businesses and trade associations may, with the approval of both the Prime Minister and the Fair Trade Commission, conclude or set agreements or rules (協定又は規約) on premiums or representations (Article 36, paragraph (1)).
