The Competition Council of the Republic of Moldova has been selected among winners of the 2014 Competition Advocacy Contest, under the thematic category Ăœof ĂœPromoting cooperation with relevant public bodies to balance competition goals with other public interests .
This contest organized by the World Bank Group aims to raise awareness of the key role of competition agencies in promoting competition and showcase their successful advocacy stories. The announcement was made during the 14th Annual Meeting of the International Competition Network (ICN) held on 27 April- 01 May 2015, in Sydney, Australia. The event was attended by more than 400 international delegates from over 70 countries, including staff from competition agencies, academics, and legal and economic representatives. The program covered a range of important and topical competition issues including how to regulate unilateral conduct without stifling innovation, how international cooperation can improve merger review and cartel enforcement, and how competition agencies should contribute as advocates for competition. Also, this year the conference was focussed on the digital economy and the tools competition regulators can use to deal with current and emerging issues.
ICN is a network of international competition regulators, which currently (April 2015) includes 133 member-authorities from 119 jurisdictions. The Competition Council of the Republic of Moldova is a member of the International Competition Network since June 2007.
