8th Annual Antitrust and Competition Compliance in CEE

As the actions taken by the competition regulatory bodies continue to rise and change, it is increasingly imperative that compliance officers and in-house legal counsel effectively guard companies from costly breaches of compliance. International trends toward stricter competition policy and enforcement demands corporate compliance programs operating in top notch condition with constant maintenance to adjust to the developing range of global regulations.

Regulation 1/2003 has led to more than 80% of antitrust and competition decisions being handled by national competition authorities and courts. The regional differentials within the CEE and CIS regions from how investigations are initiated to how they conducted and ultimately dealt with are crucial for multinational enterprises.
