Competition Policy in Global Markets Efficiencies and remedies in lean times 22 June 2012
Chatam House

This annual competition policy conference will focus on the challenges faced by regulators and industry world-wide as a result of the global downturn and budget cuts. Issues to be discussed include: Should there be a move from case-by-case or complaints-driven enforcement to sector-specific, ex officio cases? Should enforcement reflect a business’s economic difficulties? Competition issues relating to new technologies and the extractive industries. Speaker highlights: Joaquín Almunia (Commissioner for Economic & Monetary Affairs, European Commission), William E Kovacic (Global Competition Professor of Law and Policy, George Washington University), J Thomas Rosch (Commissioner, US Federal Trade Commission) Information and registration: www.chathamhouse.org/competition2012
