Conference “Enforcing Competition Law in Hong Kong and the European Union

Description: On December 14 2015, the Hong Kong Competition Ordinance became fully effective.

As the first investigations of the Hong Kong Competition Commission get under way, this conference gathers a range of experts – enforcers, practitioners, academics, industry representatives and competition law students – based in Hong Kong and the EU to discuss enforcement priorities and the challenges that lie ahead for effective enforcement.
