The Competition Law Forum's Project on International Competition Cooperation

Competition enforcement cooperation agreements have been, and continue to be, concluded between a multitude of jurisdictions in order to ensure that the benefits of free trade are not eliminated by private anticompetitive practices. Dr Philip Marsden and Peter Whelan of the CLF researched the effectiveness of bilateral agreements in their pursuit of this objective. The International Competition Cooperation Project involved study of inter alia the workings of bilateral trade and competition cooperation agreements in the following jurisdictions: Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the EU.
