Opening the 100th meeting of the competition committee, Mr. Gurría reminded that competition is vital for economic growth. It stimulates efficiency and higher productivity, it disciplines managers, it reinforces incentives for innovation, and it speeds up the adjustment to change. He also mentioned OECD countries that have implemented pro-competition reforms have seen higher growth rates and lower unemployment than those who failed to reform. They have also proved to be more flexible and resilient to economic shocks.

To eliminate barriers to competition, governments can use the approach developed in the OECD’s new Competition Assessment Toolkit. The Toolkit is a method for identifying unnecessary restraints on market activities and developing alternative, less restrictive measures that still achieve government policy objectives. It draws on experiences of many OECD jurisdictions and will evolve based on feedback from ongoing country experiences.

The potential to strengthen productivity growth and enhance consumer welfare through more competition is large in the energy and railway sectors. Lowering entry barriers, including through the option of stronger forms of vertical separation between network access provision and potentially competitive services will be the main challenge for Germany going forward. In particular, it will be a crucial point in designing the envisaged privatisation of state stakes in the railway sector market incumbent Deutsche Bahn AG.

Many delegates to the Competition Committee have expressed a wish to see increased coordination of capacity building activities worldwide. Sharing basic information is a good starting point. To this end, a "Calendar of Global Capacity Building Events in 2008" has been compiled in close cooperation with OECD members and observers at the Competition Committee as well as international organisations. The Calendar will be regularly updated on the basis of the information provided to the OECD.
