The commission identifies key issues in competition policy facing the international business community and contributes the business voice to debates to resolve these.

ICC works closely with intergovernmental organizations involved in competition policy-making, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Competition Network (ICN) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (through BIAC).

Current Priority Issues

• Reinforce ICC’s role as the main business interlocutor of the International Competition Network (ICN) by organizing a fifth ICC-ICN roundtable.
• Finalize global business views on the alignment of premerger control practices from various regions with the Recommended Practices for Merger Notification Procedure of the ICN.
• Further promote the importance of compliance programmes as a tool for competition law enforcement, especially at national level and via ICN, including through the development of an antitrust compliance toolkit.
• Provide input on EU reforms, in particular with regards to collective redress, technology transfer agreements and minority shareholdings.
• Continue to hold annual meetings with the European Commission on antitrust developments.
• Issue recommendations on the improvement of the European Competition Network (ECN) Model Leniency Programme.
