This high-level seminar will explore the complex role of the State in competition enforcement.
Through a combination of case discussions and expert insights, the event will examine situations in which public authorities or State-owned enterprises (SOEs) may distort competition – whether intentionally or as a result of regulatory design.
Participants will delve into relevant legal frameworks, recent case law, and the policy tools available to address such infringements at both the national and international levels. The seminar will also highlight the concept of competitive neutrality – a principle aimed at ensuring a level playing field by eliminating or mitigating undue competitive advantages enjoyed by certain market players over their rivals.
