Competition law and policy in the Czech Republic have converged on European practices. Since the OECD review of Czech competition policy in 2001, the country has joined the European Union, while the Czech Competition Act has been revised and now closely follows the substantive terms and enforcement methods of the European Commission.
Non member economies that wish to participate in the Competition Committee as observers in 2008-2009 are invited to submit their applications no later than 31 August 2007. The Committee will decide in October 2007 which applicants will be proposed to the Council for approval. The application must explain how the applicant will fulfill the elements of the Competition Committee's Proactive Strategy vis-à-vis Non Members.
