Bruges, 23 September 2024
Officials and experts from the EU and Africa will meet in Bruges from 23 to 27 September 2024 to discuss their cooperation on competition law and enforcement.
Participants will discuss recent developments in EU competition law, including the economics of competition law, vertical agreements, cartels, unilateral conduct and market studies. Special focus will be given to competition law enforcement in the area of food supply and high food prices.
The EU-Africa Competition Week has been taking place annually since 2022 and is organised by the Commission and funded by the EU. It offers technical cooperation, among others, to competition authorities in Africa and aims at creating a new platform for exchange and dialogue on competition policy and enforcement between national and regional competition authorities in Africa and the EU. The Competition Week strengthens the contacts between participating authorities and European officials and professionals. It also gives participants specific insights into new policy developments of the Commission and the EU’s approach to a range of key topics faced by competition enforcers.
More information about the Commission’s bilateral dialogue with Africa in the field of competition policy is available on the Commission’s website.
