Federal Trade Commission: USTDA Mexico: Strengthening Competition Policy Project

The FTC and DOJ are providing technical assistance to the Mexican Federal Competition Commission to enhance their ability to effectively apply Mexicos competition laws in ways that encourage a more competitive marketplace.

The program shares the experience of the FTC and DOJ in detecting, investigating, and appropriately remedying anticompetitive conduct.

Subjects being addressed include: abuse of dominance, cartels, mergers, competition in regulated industries, and judicial education.

This assistance has primarily taken the form of seminars in which FTC and DOJ career staff transfer their practical skills through interactive hypothetical cases.

The program enhances these authorities ability to take action against anticompetitive practices that inhibit trade and investment as well as harm domestic consumer welfare.
