Competition Policy and Trade Agreements in the Region: Exploring Forums for Cooperation and Convergence

Autor institucional: NU. CEPAL. División de Comercio Internacional e Integración Physical Description: 6 páginas. Editorial: ECLAC Date: December 2006

Description

The similarities of competition provisions in integration and other intraregional agreements and the dissemination of this information could serve as a basis for progress in cooperation and convergence on this issue in the region. The negotiation processes that have taken place for these agreements have also enhanced communication between the national agencies concerned, leading to processes of learning and harmonization; these processes could be strengthened as part of the current efforts of administrating and implementing trade agreements. This edition of the FAL Bulletin reviews the information available in order to see how progress can be made on this issue on the basis of the analysis and bibliography of Álvarez and others (2006), and Silva and Álvarez (2006).
