8-9 May 2023

2nd EU-ASEAN Competition Week

Officials and experts from the EU and member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Bangkok, Thailand, on 8 and 9 May 2023 to discuss cooperation on competition policy and enforcement.

On the first day, participants discussed international cooperation in antitrust and mergers, with a focus on the role played by innovation and pipeline products in the assessment of merger cases. On the second day, discussions covered cartel investigation techniques for building an effective case, as well as State support with a focus on subsidy control and competitive neutrality principles.

The second EU-ASEAN Competition Week was hosted by the Trade Competition Commission of Thailand and is part of a series of dialogues on competition policy and enforcement between the two sides. These dialogues provide an opportunity for the European Commission, the ASEAN Member States Competition Authorities, and the ASEAN Secretariat to advance their technical cooperation and exchanges.
