Memorandum of Understanding

Memorandum of Understanding

The Austrian Federal Competition Authority emphasizes to cooperate with other Federal Competition Authorities on the basis of memorandum of understandings in order to promote and to strengthen cooperation in the field of competition enforcement and policy in accordance with national legislation of the certain state.

The main issues are to increase exchange of information, exchange of experience with cases, promotion of legal developments and improving investigations in cross-national antitrust violations or cartel agreements and sharing best practice. 

Intercommunication should for example be carried out via study visits, exchange of non-confidential case information, expert and high level meetings.
