About the Speech:

The 'Competition Enforcers Series' will be launched by Dr. Alexander Italianer, Director General of DG Competition. This series will consider the impact of and the need for rigorous enforcement of competition policy on a global scale to overcome the current crises and promote growth and innovation. Speakers on the series will include leading practitioners, academics and members of competition authorities from around the world.

Dr. Italianer will provide an overview of the enforcement of competition policy by the European Commission since he commenced his mandate on year ago. Issues for discussion will include action against cartels, supporting the financial sector through state aid as well as highlighting the role played by 'standard setting' in competition policy. The Competition Enforcers Series is hosted in conjunction with the Competition Authority.
