About us

Since the Law of 30 November 2022 on competition came into force on 1 January 2023, the Competition Authority of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been an independent public body with legal personality and financial and administrative autonomy. 

It has thus taken over from the former Competition Council to enforce national and European legislation prohibiting practices and agreements that restrict competition, as well as abuses of a dominant position.

Over time, the Authority's remit has expanded beyond its primary role as the guardian of competition rules.

In accordance with its Organic Law, as amended, the Authority now covers three main areas of activity:

• competition law; 
• the supervision of digital markets; and 
• unfair trading practices in the agri-food supply chain. 

It addition to this:

• it defends the collective interests of businesses in relation to freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services; as well as 
• the protection of whistleblowers in all the aforementioned areas.
