The Memorandum confirmed the intention of the parties to develop practical cooperation and strengthen professional dialogue on competition issues and became an important step in expanding the international cooperation of the EEC in the field of competition.
The document provides for the development of contacts between experts, the exchange of information on approaches to law enforcement, the discussion of current challenges of competition policy, as well as the study of regulatory practices in cross-border markets.
