2.4: Global Marketplace

Protect American consumers in the global marketplace by providing sound policy recommendations and technical advice to foreign governments and international organizations to promote sound competition policy.

Other Information:

The FTC continues to build cooperative relationships with foreign antitrust agencies to ensure close collaboration on cross-border cases and convergence toward sound competition policies. The FTC seeks more effective, coordinated reviews of multijurisdictional mergers, and is working towards achieving consistent outcomes in cases of potential unilateral anticompetitive conduct. Participation in multilateral competition organizations provides valuable opportunities to promote international cooperation and convergence and for competition officials to share insights on law enforcement and policy initiatives. Performance Measures: - Policy advice provided to foreign competition agencies, directly and through international organizations, through substantive consultations, written submissions, or comments. - Technical assistance provided to foreign competition authorities. These measures address the scope of our contact with international counterparts and help determine if our efforts are sufficiently broad-based.
