The OECD has published a new booklet (Procedural Fairness and Transparency – Key Points 2012) that summarizes three roundtable discussions on transparency and procedural fairness in 2010 and 2011, as part of the OECD’s Competition Committee’s Working Party No. 3. The OECD’s booklet summarizes 82 written submissions, eight presentations by various national delegations and commentary from competition law practitioners and experts.
The OECD’s booklet also includes discussions of recent transparency related initiatives by the Canadian Competition Bureau including new compliance, merger and Immunity Program related guidelines; the Bureau’s transparency self-assessment (began in 2010, which has resulted in, among other things, its new monthly Merger Registry and merger statements); areas of improvement with respect to transparency (including in relation to merger review and the review of the Bureau’s consent agreement process); and the Bureau’s policies relating to the exchange of confidential information with international agencies.
