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 key business voice in the International Competition Network (ICN) by organizing a fourth ICC-ICN roundtable and by making a substantive contribution to its key working groups.
• Develop views on the alignment of premerger control practices from various regions with the Recommended Practices for Merger Notification Procedure of the ICN.
• Contribute international business views on competition policy developments in the US.
• Provide business input on reform of EU rules on enforcement by private parties.
• Develop recommendations on the improvement of the European Competition Network (ECN) Model Leniency Programme.
• Provide substantive input on the development of competition laws in emerging markets where appropriate.
• Promote the importance of compliance programmes as a tool for competition law enforcement, especially in an EU context.
