In its recent evidence to the House of Lords Internal Market Sub-Committee, the Government recognised the importance of continued cooperation between the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and overseas competition authorities. The Government intends to agree competition cooperation arrangements to allow the CMA and partners in and outside the EU to coordinate enforcement activities and share confidential information.
