Commission strives to close regulatory gap concerning competitor collaborations

The Federal Economic Competition Commission recently released its Strategic Work Plan 2015. Among other things, the plan addresses one of the main issues facing antitrust regulation in Mexico: collaborations among competitors. The plan specifically commits to drafting, submitting to public consultation and ultimately issuing guidelines setting out the commission’s criteria for assessing collaborations among competitors.

New competition regulatory agencies incorporated.

Recent amendments to Articles 6, 7, 27, 28, 73, 78, 94 and 105 of the Mexican Constitution in relation to competition and telecommunications matters were published in the Federal Official Gazette on June 11 2013 (for further details please see “Congress enacts constitutional amendments affecting competition”).
