Below a scattering between spin-up and spin-down carriers is considered to be the main reason for the experimental observation. Comparison of two band model with experiment provides an upper limit for the electron-electron scattering time $\\tau_{ee}$ in the dilute 2D electron system as a function of electron density $n_s$. The time $\\tau_{ee}$ increases gradually with $n_s$, becoming much greater than the transport scattering time $\\tau_p$ for densities $n_s>4 \\times 10 ^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. Strong electron-electron scattering is found for $1.22 \\times 10 ^{11}
