Competition is a vital mechanism of the economy
Competition is a vital mechanism of the economy and the Competition Councils all over the world are having very important roles in ensuring a healthy competitive environment. This encourages efficiency and innovation and reduces prices. Also, companies are encouraged to provide consumer goods and services in the most favorable terms.
We would like to emphasize also the relevant changes during pandemic and also relevant case studies for energy, IT&C, retail, environment, construct and real estate and other industries.
Managers, entrepreneurs, legal managers, compliance and public affairs managers and acquisition directors of companies from all business sectors in Romania are interested in competition regulations because Competition Council advises important business maters from how companies fix their prices to authorizing millions M&A transactions.
In this context, PRIA Conferences and the Competition Council invites you, as always, at the beginning of every year, to attend the first complex event completely dedicated to competition.
During PRIA Competition on March 21st 2023 conference you will benefit from hearing legislative novelties regarding competition, high-level analysis and case studies of the most important competition investigations of this year.
The focus is still on the fight against cartels, abuse of dominant companies in their activity sector, mergers and acquisitions, and against unfair competition.
Competition policies must be known and understood by all those involved in the economy
Therefore, competition policies must be known and understood by all those involved in the economy. Companies must know ways of how they can be protected by legislation if they become victims of anti-competitive practices, and which are the penalties they can receive if they decide not to respect competition rules. It is very important for companies to know these regulations in the business field, but for individuals.
Participate to PRIA Competition Conference to analyze the legislation novelties and challenges, but also to find out when they will enter into force. Meet the most important representatives of the Competition Council and other state authorities, representatives of Chambers of Commerce and embassies, representatives from the energy, retail, telecom, media market, the construction and real estate, IT&C, banking sector, pharmaceutical market, transport and logistics, tourism and mass media.
