SUMMARY:Análisis del Dictamen Preliminar de la COFECE sobre el Mercado de Comercio Electrónico en México
DESCRIPTION:Analysis of Mexico’s Federal Commission of Economic Competition’s (COFECE) Preliminary Report on the Retail E-Commerce Market in Mexico\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				La Autoridad Investigadora de la Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica de México (COFECE) publicó\, a principios de este año\, un Dictamen Preliminar sobre sus hallazgos tras el análisis de potenciales barreras de entrada a la libre competencia en el mercado minorista de comercio electrónico. Esta investigación se basa en el artículo 94 de la Ley Federal de Competencia Económica de México\, que permite imponer medidas regulatorias para abordar problemas estructurales sin imponer sanciones económicas a los agentes. \nLe extendemos una cordial invitación a asistir a este panel en el que se analizará exhaustivamente estos hallazgos\, las medidas sugeridas por la Autoridad Investigadora y el proceso mediante el cual México puede imponer este tipo de medidas.  \nConsulta el folleto arriba para obtener más información.

SUMMARY:The Competition & Growth Conference
DESCRIPTION:In January 2025\, the UK government replaced the chair of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)\, signaling a shift toward a more growth-oriented competition policy. This move\, part of Labour’s broader economic agenda\, has sparked intense debate about how competition enforcement can coexist with fostering innovation and growth\, particularly in transformative sectors like artificial intelligence (AI) and digital markets. \nThe conference\, “Competition & Growth: Unleashing Prosperity”\, organized by The George Washington University and hosted in London at the University of East London\, brought together leading competition regulators\, enforcers\, antitrust scholars\, practitioners\, and in-house counsels to address this critical challenge. \nThe conference aimed to explore how competition authorities can promote fair markets while supporting economic dynamism in an interconnected\, AI-driven world. \nWe examined the evolving role of competition policy in supporting industrial strategies\, facilitating mergers that drive growth\, and regulating rapidly evolving digital markets. Conference participants included leading regulators\, in-house counsels\, and practitioners in the United Kingdom. The conference was a unique opportunity to engage with key stakeholders at a critical time for the development of competition rules in the United Kingdom. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n					\n					\n					\n				\n				\n				Download the full agenda here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Agenda\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\nTime\nSession\n\n\n\n\n8:00 AM\nRegistration and Breakfast\n\n\n9:00 AM\n\nOpening Remarks  \nProfessor Aurelien Portuese (GW Competition & Innovation Lab) \n\n\n\n9:15 AM\n\nPanel 1 – The Regulation of Competition in AI \nChair: Aurelien Portuese (GWU) \n\nPanelists: Kai-Uwe Kuhn (UEA); Phillip Malloch (META)\, Oliver Bethell (Google)\, Renato Nazzini (KCL)\n\n\n\n\n10:45 AM\nCoffee Break\n\n\n11:15 AM\n\nPanel 2 – The Effects of the DMCC \n\n\n\n\nChair: Miroslava Marinova (UEL) \n\nPanelists: Jessica Radke (Linklaters); Sarah Long (Euclid); Cleo Alliston (BBC)\, Liza Lovdahl Gormsen (BIICL)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45 PM\nLunch Break\n\n\n2:00 PM\n\nFireside Chat \n\n\n\n\nIoannis Kokkoris (Competition Appeal Tribunal) & Aurelien Portuese (GWU) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:30 PM\n\nPanel 3 – The New Merger and Trade Landscape \nChair: Lau Nilausen (CompassLexecon) \n\nPanelists: Ronan Scanlan (Steptoe); Alex Jennings (Vodafone); Peter Holmes (USussex); Miranda Cole (Perkins Coie)\n\n\n\n\n4:00 PM\nClosing Remarks
