Competition law is one of the main pillars and one of the main determining factors of EU integration. It is one of the main tools that stimulate innovation and long-term economic development. The harmonized application of competition law rules is one of the main advantages of successfully integrating candidate countries into the EU.
Thus, the purpose of this event is to gather competition law experts, public administration employees, judges and academics and to discuss relevant topics regarding the application of competition law in the EU and Moldova. During the event, the participants shared knowledge and ideas that are particularly relevant for the harmonization of the competition legislation of the Republic of Moldova with the EU competition legislation, as well as for the more effective application of the competition legislation in Moldova. A particular emphasis was placed on the judicial review of competition decisions and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU.
