In an interesting speech on September 14, 2012 by the Acting Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. DoJ’s Antitrust Division, Joseph Wayland discussed the continuing cooperation between U.S. and international enforcement agencies (including Canada), including in relation to the auto parts, air cargo, LCD and e-book cartel investigations and Google/Motorola and UT/Goodrich mergers.

In his speech, he emphasized three key drivers for international cooperation between agencies: increased understanding of the competitive process, increased efficiency for global enforcement and facilitating pro-consumer economic activity.  The speech also discusses the increase of leniency programs globally and some of the strategic rationales for inter-agency cooperation.
