The conference will gather speakers from the OECD, the European Commission, the Portuguese Competition Authority and from the Competition and Markets Authority (UK) as well as the Competition & EU Partners at Vieira de Almeida, who will moderate the session’s panels (held partly in Portuguese and partly in English).
The session will provide an opportunity to discuss and clarify the participants in respect of the current main trends of enforcement and also to discuss the associated risks to cases of early implementation of operations of concentration (gun jumping).
