Overview

International cartels are raising complex policy issues, which the OECD as a forward-thinking forum has broadly addressed over the past decades. The OECD's cartel work has resulted in an extensive collection of important recommendations, best practices, and policy roundtables, collectively fostering effective enforcement against cartels. The ""Compendium of International Cartels"" gathers the key OECD documents circling around international cartels in one compact source. In addition to the relevant recommendations and policy roundtables, this Compendium includes a collection of more than 200 case references from a wide range of jurisdictions in the e-Competitions Bulletin, informed by roughly 180 cartels from the OECD ICStats Database. The Compendium serves as a vital resource for practitioners and competition agencies, offering important guidance for effective detection and enforcement against international cartels.
