Competition Regulator

Many nations implement competition laws, and there is general agreement on acceptable standards of behaviour. The degree to which countries enforce their competition policy does vary substantially, with the United States generally regarded as having the most strict competition laws and enforcement.

Competition regulators may also regulate certain aspects of Mergers And Acquisitions and Business Alliance s and regulate or prohibit Cartel s and Monopolies . Other government agencies may have responsibilities in relation to aspects of competition law which affect Companies (eg. the registrar of companies).

Regulators may form suprnational or international alliances like the ECA ( European Competition Authorities ), the ICN ( International Competition Network ), and the OECD ( Organisation For Economic Co-operation And Development .
