As the world economy becomes more globalized and integrated, business activities of foreign enterprises are more likely to influence domestic markets.

For this reason, the enforcement of competition laws only within Trinidad and Tobago may be insufficient for effectively coping with these threats to competition.

Accordingly, in order to overcome these problems, national competition authorities share materials and information necessary for the enforcement of competition laws with foreign competition agencies and actively promote the forging of cooperative relations among competition authorities through mutual coordination and cooperation in the process of law enforcement.

From time to time we seek cooperation in a number of ways with foreign competition agencies to keep updated on threats to competition such as international cartels which occur across borders.

• International Competition Network
• EU Director General for Competition
• Caricom Competition Commission
