The OECD-Korea Regional Centre for Competition is a joint venture between the Korea Fair Trade Commission and the OECD. Opened in May 2004, the Centre helps competition authorities in the Asian region develop and implement effective competition law and policy. The Centre provides a hub for competition officials from Asian countries to meet regularly to exchange experiences and deepen their capacities in competition law and policy through workshops, seminars and other events. The Centre also works to strengthen competition law and policy in Korea and the KFTC itself. In late 2005, the Centre will begin an ambitious research program.
Capacity building is achieved through practical hands on training involving computer simulations, document analysis, and case studies. Participants learn up to date enforcement practices and the modern economic thinking that lies behind a variety of antitrust enforcement concerns. Recent and upcoming activities have focused on antitrust market definition and competitive effects analysis, anti-cartel enforcement practices, vertical integration, exclusive dealing, tying, bundling, other miscellaneous vertical practices, price discrimination, obtaining and analyzing economic evidence that can support or refute the authority's antitrust concern, legal reform, guidelines, and the practices and procedures of an authority.
The Centre's activities are focused on the following countries: Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand and Vietnam.
