European Competition Network

The European Competition Network (ECN) is a collaboration of national competition authorities across European Union (EU) member states, along with the European Commission. Its main goal is to enforce competition laws effectively, ensuring fair competition in the EU market. The ECN helps member states coordinate on cases involving anti-competitive behavior like cartels or abuse of market power. This cooperation allows authorities to share information, align their approaches, and tackle violations that often span multiple countries, ultimately promoting consumer welfare and a competitive economy throughout Europe.
