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 2008/2009" has been compiled in close cooperation with OECD members and observers at the Competition Committee as well as international organisations. The Calendar is regularly updated on the basis of the information provided to the OECD.

This roundtable focused on how competition authorities can provide businesses with effective guidance on monopolization and abuse of dominance.

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.

Before a firm can compete in a market, it has to be able to enter it. Many markets have at least some impediments that make it more difficult for a firm to enter. A debate over how to define the term “barriers to entry” began decades ago, however, and it has yet to be won.
