Montreal, Canada |11 February, 2004
Competition law has different faces around the world. International Competition rules were first developed in the European Economic Community. Increasing globalization has led to a serious international debate about competition rules and competition cooperation. What are some of the different approaches between Europe and North-America. How does this increased cooperation relate to the internationally recognized goal of sustainable development. How does anti-trust and SD law interact? Will international competition rules favor or jeopardize the goal of SD and what is the most appropriate forum under SD considerations? These questions were addressed in a joint CISDL – Institute for European Studies academic workshop "Competition Law and Sustainable Development - Impressions from the European Union and for International Competition Cooperation". Wednesday, February 11, 2004 (1pm), New Chancellor Day Hall Room 102, 3644 Peel Street, Montreal.
