News release: “At its 10th annual conference in The Hague, the Netherlands, the International Competition Network (ICN) adopted new materials on how to assess market dominance, resolve cartel cases, and manage competition projects effectively. The organization also presented a comprehensive evaluation of how competition agencies use the ICN’s merger-related materials, and unveiled the first four teaching modules of a “virtual university” of competition law and practice, the Federal Trade Commission announced today. The ICN conference, hosted by the Netherlands Competition Authority, was held on May 18-20, 2011. Almost 500 delegates participated, representing over 90 jurisdictions from around the world, and included competition experts from international organizations and the legal, business, consumer and academic communities. FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, FTC Commissioner William E. Kovacic, and officials with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) led the U.S. delegates at the conference. The conference showcased the accomplishments of ICN working groups on mergers, unilateral conduct, cartels, competition advocacy and competition agency effectiveness.”
