The fifth meeting of the Latin American Competition Forum was held in Puebla, Mexico on 20 September 2007. The agenda included: i) a roundtable on competition and public procurement in Latin America; ii) a presentation of the OECD competition assessment toolkit; and iii) a follow-up to the peer reviews of competition laws and policies of five Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru.

The Forum promotes dialogue, consensus building and networking between competition policymakers and law enforcers, and the identification and dissemination of best practices in competition law and policy in a collegial setting. Emphasis is on sharing experience.

Participants are senior officials of Latin American competition institutions. Competition experts from OECD countries and international organisations are included to provide additional perspectives and experience.
