FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez will speak on a panel on international cooperation in merger cases at the International Competition Network (ICN) Conference in Marrakech, Morocco, Friday, said an FTC press release (http://1.usa.gov/1pndwgb). The conference, which begins Wednesday, features “antitrust officials and private sector antitrust experts from around the world and representatives of intergovernmental organizations,” who will “discuss key competition issues and recent ICN work in the areas of agency effectiveness, mergers, unilateral conduct, cartels, and advocacy,” it said. The FTC and the Justice Department, along with 13 international antitrust organizations, created the ICN in October 2001, it said. The conference ends Friday, it said.
