About this Dataset

The Competition Enforcement Co-operation Database

This database was designed to help improve transparency and trust in international enforcement co-operation between competition authorities by sharing data provided by over 60 jurisdictions worldwide.

It gives consistent information regarding the ability of competition authorities to co-operate on enforcement matters, and provide counterpart authorities with easy-to-access information about their co-operation practices, processes and preferences.

Data is obtained by using the filters on the left side of the screen. You can filter the database by jurisdiction or survey topic, then click the Table button at the top of the page to view the output.

5 sets of data are included:

1. Jurisdiction and authority general information
2. Contacts in charge of international enforcement co-operation
3. Practices in terms of international enforcement co-operation
4. Legal Bases for international enforcement co-operation
5. Availability of co-operation instruments

The field " Questions " correspond to the online survey serving as a base to the collection of the data. The OECD Members appear first, followed by non-OECD Member countries.

Background

This Database is part of a workstream on international enforcement co-operation developed by the OECD Competition Committee through its Working Party 3 on Co-operation and Enforcement (2021 OECD/ICN Report and Report to Council on the Implementation of the 2014 Recommendation.

The CEC Database is meant to be updated annually and it is open to all competition agencies worldwide regardless if they are OECD Members or not. The current version dates from August 2022 and was built based on a template survey circulated online to all OECD and ICN jurisdictions (access a pdf copy of survey here for information).
