CCA at the OECD Competition Committee meeting in Paris
At the OECD Competition Committee meeting held in Paris from 16 to 20 June 2025, the Croatian Competition Agency (CCA) was represented by the Head of the Department for International and European Cooperation, Sandi Valentinc.
The CCA collaborates with the OECD twice a year through participation in the Competition Committee—where it has held participant status since June 2016—and in the Global Forum on Competition, which is open to all jurisdictions worldwide regardless of the OECD membership.
The meetings of the Competition Committee are structured around a series of roundtable discussions and debates based on written and oral contributions from participants. The topics of the last week’s meeting included:
- Impact assessment of competition authorities’ activities
- Efficiencies in merger control
- Competition in mobile payment services
- Competition in the provision of cloud computing services
- Corporate influence in competition policymaking
On the selected topics discussed at the meeting, the CCA submitted a written contribution on Efficiencies in merger control, as well as a written and oral contribution related to the Annual Report for 2024, with a focus on cases handled by the CCA over the past year.
