2019 OECD GLOBAL FORUM ON COMPETITION EXPLORED THE COMPETITION PROVISIONS IN TRADE AGREEMENTS The majority of trade agreements include a competition policy chapter or individual competition provisions. These cover a range of issues, such as the adoption or maintenance of competition laws, international co-operation on competition policy or the introduction of procedural safeguards. In December 2019, the Global Forum on Competition considered the purpose and impact of these competition provisions in practice, to discuss their usefulness in broadening and strengthening the application of competition law worldwide. In addition, the session looked at the role of competition authorities in the drafting and negotiation of competition provisions in trade agreements. |
