Webcast: European Competition Day
Ever since 2000, the country holding the Presidency has arranged a European Competition Day in order to explain the benefits of competition to European citizens.
Webcast: European Competition Day, 7 October
Webcast: Speech by Neelie Kroes, Commissioner for Competition, 6 October
The theme of the conference during the Swedish Presidency will be ‘Welfare through efficient markets’ and the aim is to provide knowledge of what competition policy signifies in a broad sense to citizens, companies and organisations. Further, discussions will be held on how consumers and the national economy can benefit from competition between companies, how companies can be enabled to compete on equal terms, and how actions that restrict competition can be eliminated.
The conference targets a broad group of people and is intended for business representatives, trade and consumer organisations, lawyers, government agency officials and others. The conference will be jointly arranged by the Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications and the Swedish Competition Authority. Participation requires a personal invitation that can be obtained by sending an email to:
n.competitionday2009(a)enterprise.ministry.se.
The conference language is English, and the entire conference will be webcast live.
