EIPA Competition Policy
In this report, Andrea Renda, Rym Ayadi, Lorna Schrefler and Julia Rodkiewicz describe the implementation and enforcement of competition rules in 10 Mediterranean Partners: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. The report also discusses to what extent the wording of Association Agreements has been transformed into practical implementation, and whether significant instances of monopoly power in some sectors could be tackled more effectively by competition rules in each country. The report also takes a more forward-looking stance on the development of competition policy in the Euro-Mediterranean countries, and issues suggestions on the potential convergence/coordination between enforcement of competition legislation in the Euro-Med area. Section 4 concludes.
