Nordic Conference on Competition Law

1. September 2015
Snowcap Mountain

Dagana 27. og 28. ágúst s.l. stóð Samkeppniseftirlitið fyrir norrænni ráðstefnu um samkeppnismál. Ráðstefnuna sátu fulltrúar samkeppniseftirlita og ráðuneyta sem fara með samkeppnismál í Danmörku, Noregi, Svíþjóð, Finnlandi, Færeyjum, á Grænlandi og Íslandi. Ráðstefnan er liður í árlegu samstarfi eftirlitanna.

Á fundinum var rætt um stefnumótun á sviði samkeppnismála, en norrænu eftirlitin fjalla reglulega um áherslur í samkeppniseftirliti, sbr. t.d. skýrslu eftirlitanna nr. 1/2013, A Vision for Competition – Competition Policy towards 2020 og skýrslu nr. 1/2009, Competition Policy and Financial Crises.

Í tengslum við þessa umræðu flutti Gylfi Magnússon, dósent við viðskiptafræðideild Háskóla Íslands og fyrrverandi viðskipta- og efnahagsráðherra, ræðu um bankahrunið og þýðingu samkeppni við úrlausn kreppunnar á Íslandi. Gylfi fór yfir stöðuna í dag og þær breytingar sem hafa orðið frá hruni. Hann sagði m.a. að samkeppni hefði að ákveðnu marki aukist á þessum tíma og að innviðirnir styddu nú betur við samkeppni en áður. Þó væru ákveðnir veikleikar enn til staðar. Æskilegt væri að efla samkeppni á ýmsum sviðum og mikilvægt að fá fjölbreyttari og breiðari hóp eigenda að íslenskum fyrirtækjarekstri um leið og íslenskir lífeyrissjóðir taka á ný að fjárfesta erlendis. Óvíða væri starf samkeppniseftirlita jafn brýnt fyrir efnahagslíf þjóðar og hér á landi.

Ræðuna má nálgast here.

Á ráðstefnunni var einnig fjallað sérstaklega um samkeppni og samkeppnishvata í heilbrigðisþjónustu á leigubílamörkuðum og í sorphirðu.
