The Authority participated in the meeting of the directors-general of European competition authorities in Lisbon

This meeting brought together the heads of the competition authorities of the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom—including those from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition—for two days of in-depth discussions on the major challenges competition law currently faces.

The programme addressed a wide range of current issues, including the future of merger control, competition enforcement in digital markets, the role of competition policy in defence markets, and the next generation of of anti-cartel enforcement tools.

This dialogue provided a valuable opportunity to share experiences, strengthen cooperation and reflect on how competition authorities can continue to ensure the effective enforcement of competition rules across Europe.
