- Compliance and the enforcement of competition law;
- Potential changes of merger notification thresholds.
The St. Martin´s Conference will be not only an unique event for exchanging information on the most significant trends and developments in the Czech and European competition law, but also an excellent opportunity for meeting of leading domestic as well as foreign experts from both – public and private sector and discussing various competition issues. Among others, representatives of the European Commission and academics will attend the conference too.
