29 October 2020

16:00 – 17:30 (SAST)

The University of Johannesburg’s Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED) will be hosting an online launch of the book titled Fighting Cross- Border Cartels: The Perspective of the Young and Small Competition Authorities by Dr. Pierre Horna (Sample chapter available here).

The book looks at the extent of the harms caused by cross-border cartels and issues associated with tackling them at a transnational level. It explains why past solutions to problems with cooperation have failed and proposes novel ideas on how to improve cooperation and coordination in transnational and regional cross-border investigations.

A key note address will be delivered by Dr. Horna followed by a panel discussion on the experiences of African competition authorities in fighting cross-border cartels. Panelists for the launch are: Pierre Horna (UNCTAD); Thula Kaira (AB & David Zambia); and Thando Vilakazi (CCRED).
