Berlin meeting objectives

To consider: 

• the actions taken so far with respect to the competition and market issues that have arisen from the implementation of the Directive;

• the role of the Competition Authorities with respect to ensuring this particular market area is functioning;

• the conclusions and the outcomes from market studies undertaken;• the effectiveness of both the handling of complaints brought to the attention of

the competition bodies and the enforcement of the recommendations arising from such complaints;

• how and whom within the European Competition Network should handle complaints received either from Private Companies or a pan European Private Sector PSI Re-user Associations such as the PSI Alliance; that arise from market activity across Member States;

• to consider whether the associated frameworks and tools – for example public sector accountancy practice; are present that enables competition authorities to act for example when considering dominant behaviour and market squeeze through price;

• the issues that arise when regulating the public sector itself.
