Prof Bruce Lyons, deputy director of CCP, said: "This conference will feature world class speakers on the highly relevant topic of how institutions influence the effectiveness of competition policy. This is timely, not least because of the changes taking place this year in the UK with the creation of the CMA. Should responsibility for competition policy, regulation and consumer protection reside in a single or in separate institutions? What form of internal organisation is most effective in these institutions? And what difference do courts and legal cultures make to enforcement? These are just some of the questions we will be aiming to answer."
