European Commission (for competition)

The European Commission for Competition is an institution of the European Union responsible for ensuring fair competition in the internal market. It investigates anti-competitive practices like monopolies, cartels, and unfair mergers that could harm consumers and businesses. By enforcing competition laws, it aims to promote a competitive economy, protect consumer choice, and facilitate innovation. The Commission can impose fines and prevent mergers that threaten market fairness. Ultimately, its goal is to create a level playing field where businesses can compete fairly, benefiting consumers and the economy as a whole.
