Priority notice of the Belgian Competition Authority published
The Belgian Competition Authority published its 2024 priority notice (NL/FR)
The priority sectors are the same as in 2023 and include public procurement, agri-food, and the digital and telecom sector.
Specific initiatives for 2024 are the pro-active detection of bid rigging, the creation of a task force to conduct market investigations, the publication of an enforcement notice on the digital sector in Belgium as well as a leaflet on the opportunities which the DMA may offer Belgian tech-companies. The BCA also reiterates its willingness to provide informal advice regarding sustainability initiatives, in particular in the agricultural sector.
We will report on these initiatives when we learn more.
