The definition of a relevant product and geographic market is a necessary step in most competition cases, particularly in merger cases. We look at basic investigatory and analytical steps and the economics of market definition. Practical case examples from OECD members will be presented in order to illustrate the theoretical concepts. The participants will be asked to join the experts in hypothetical case exercises.

The downloadable materials of the virtual seminar on "Carrying out Effective Antitrust Investigations" are now available to the seminar's participants.

Please join us for our next virtual seminar on effective antitrust investigations.

Effective investigation is decisive for competition authorities to adopt solid decisions, suitable to withstand judicial review. This seminar will examine the set of tools available to competition authorities to gather direct and indirect evidence, including requests for information, dawn raids, hearings, leniency systems and efficient procedures. Hands-on experience of advanced competition authorities and international best practices will provide participants with precious insights for taking full advantage of their toolbox.  

In light of the current limitations to travel stemming from the Covid-19 crisis, the seminar will be held online through the platform Zoom. The working language will be English with simultaneous interpretation into Russian.
