On December 7, 2011, the International Competition Network (ICN) published its updated ICN Work Product Catalogue, with interactive links to ICN reports and documents from 2008 to 2011 in the advocacy, cartel (conspiracy), mergers and unilateral conduct (monopoly / abuse of dominance) areas.
In issuing its new Work Product Catalogue the ICN said:
“The ICN has produced a tremendous body of work over the past decade, including recommended practices, manuals, reports and templates in addition to events like teleseminars, webinars, workshops, and annual conferences.
Looking for an easy way to search for ICN work product? Visit the updated ICN Work Product Catalogue! The catalogue was developed by the Advocacy and Implementation Network (AIN) to enhance the accessibility and use of ICN work product. It lists ICN work product by Working Groups and by past projects with a brief description of what the product contains – all in an easy-to-view format, with hyperlinks to the relevant products!

The ICN is an international body of national competition authorities:
“The ICN provides competition authorities with a specialized yet informal venue for maintaining regular contacts and addressing practical competition concerns. This allows for a dynamic dialogue that serves to build consensus and convergence towards sound competition policy principles across the global antitrust community.
The ICN is unique as it is the only international body devoted exclusively to competition law enforcement and its members represent national and multinational competition authorities. Members produce work products through their involvement in flexible project-oriented and results-based working groups. Working group members work together largely by Internet, telephone, teleseminars and webinars.
Annual conferences and workshops provide opportunities to discuss working group projects and their implications for enforcement. The ICN does not exercise any rule-making function. Where the ICN reaches consensus on recommendations, or “best practices”, arising from the projects, individual competition authorities decide whether and how to implement the recommendations, through unilateral, bilateral or multilateral arrangements, as appropriate.”
