Description

Globalization of Competition Policy 2016 is a conference that covers topics such as:

  • To what extent are competition regulators in agreement on a common set of standards?
  • How much progress is being made towards widely accepted standards for competition policy and regulation?
  • What factors have contributed to the lack of progress on standardization?
  • How much standardization is desirable? What level of convergence is optimal? Are the strategies, mechanisms and institutions relied upon to achieve greater convergence working?
  • What role can multilateral and industry organizations play in furthering convergence?
  • What are the benefits of convergent approaches to competition policy and what are the risks?
  • Might less be more in the case of convergence in minority shareholdings and joint ventures?
  • How can the benefits of increased cooperation between regulators be realized?
  • How do anti-trust measures in different jurisdictions make mergers more difficult, for example the requirements for notifications by different countries in which the companies may operate?
  • Are new systems on merger control – with varied processes, goals and stages – leading to more pronounced differences and conflicting approaches?
  • What are the key considerations for competition policy and legislation when assessing the implications of the digital economy? What are the merits of competition law versus sector-specific legislation?
  • What are the risks that attempts by regulators in emerging regions and non-OECD countries to adopt the ‘better practice’ of more established regulatory regimes ultimately lead to inadequate policies and approaches to competition regulation?
  • What is the appropriate role of competition law in furthering the digital single market?
  • Does the challenge of trying to legislate and regulate in the digital economy mean that policy-makers will always be playing catch up?
  • What can be expected from the European Commission’s preliminary report on its e-commerce sector inquiry?
  • How should the requirement to ensure adequate antitrust enforcement be balanced with the need to promote and nurture innovation in e-commerce?
  • What limits, if any, should antitrust law impose on the collection and use of consumer data?
  • What are the implications of big data for antitrust enforcement?
