Cooperation with CIPA is mainly characterized by the Competition Council’s participation in regular CIPA meetings that are convoked twice a year, each CIS member country hosting the event by rotation.

     During these meetings the Competition Council has the role of promoter of European competition policy.

     Also in the period of reference, the Competition Council experts participated at thematic seminars organized under CIPA as well as in working groups where they performed a useful exchange of information and experience with similar representatives of the CIS countries, on competition in the food, oil, pharmaceutical, telecommunications markets, etc.

     This allowed discussing the problems the competition authorities of the CIS member states are facing, including the Competition Council of the Republic, and addressing them in the most efficient way.
