The Competition Regulatory Agency Review and Evaluation Project, run by the Center for Transnational Law and Business, is designed to promote a global uniform set of best practices for the procedural aspects of antitrust investigations across national competition regulatory agencies.
The first phase of the project developed a process to review and evaluate the adherence of a jurisdiction's regulatory framework to generally accepted principles for due process, transparency and comity for a national agency's regulatory action based on a set of objective criteria; and the national agency's effectiveness in adhering to these generally accepted principles. This current comparative report reviews and evaluates ten jurisdictions:
The in-depth individual country reports for each of these jurisdictions in this current version of the comparative report include updates and new amendments since the last comparative report.
The second phase of this project will continue to periodically provide updates and new amendments that arise in each of the ten jurisdictions and note if such updates and amendments have an impact on that jurisdiction's national agency's effectiveness in adhering to generally accepted principles for due process, transparency and comity. The number of jurisdictions to be reviewed and evaluated will also be expanded during the second phase.
