Brussels, 5 December 2022
Officials and experts from the EU and India will meet in New Delhi from 5 to 7 December 2022 to discuss and exchange good practices in competition policy and enforcement.
The technical discussions will touch upon a wide range of topics, including antitrust cases in the digital economy, the design and implementation of regulation of digital markets, investigation practices in certain agreements relating to the transport sector and other atypical cartels, as well as how to assess arguments about sustainability goals in the context of competition enforcement.
The annual EU-India Competition Week provides a platform for exchanges between officials from the European Commission Directorate-General for Competition and the Competition Commission of India. In addition, representatives from both the Belgian and French competition authorities will participate in this year’s edition.
The meeting builds on the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of competition law signed between the EU and Indian competition authorities in 2013 and on the previous Competition Weeks organised since 2018.
The EU-India Competition Week is part of the Competition Cooperation project, a 5-year EU-funded programme offering technical cooperation to competition authorities in Asia to strengthen convergence in competition policy to the benefit of citizens and businesses in both the EU and Asia.
More information about the European Commission’s bilateral dialogue with India in the field of competition policy is available on the Commission’s website.
