Roundtable on Leniency Programmes
A short post today.
Last week, the GCLC hosted a roundtable on the interplay between leniency programmes at EU and national levels.
We discussed in particular convergence, jurisdictional matters (summary applications, what is a well-placed authority, etc.), and the scope of leniency programmes (do they cover also exchange of information?).
I attach below the slides presented by the speakers at this event.

Indian Merger Control Rules Enter into Force
June 1st 2011 will be remembered in the history of international antitrust as the date when Indian rules establishing a system of merger control entered into force. Considering India´s rapid rise as an economic superpower it´s safe to guess that India will soon be at the forefront of international antitust.
The text of the merger regulations is available here.
From now on we will certainly monitor any interesting developments coming from India.
Best of lucks to the Competition Commission of India!
