DOJ Antitrust Signs Onto Framework on Competition Agency Procedures

DOJ's Antitrust Division is among founding members of the Framework on Competition Agency Procedures agreement, which lays out norms of transparency and procedural fairness in antitrust enforcement. The agency said Monday the agreement was adopted in April by the International Competition Network, opening the framework up to national, supranational and territory-specific competition agencies. It said it takes effect May 15, and an inauguration ceremony in Colombia will involve funding members.
