Chairman, Office of Fair Trading, London1
Introduction
My perspective is that of a national competition authority – or in my case a national consumer and competition authority: an NCA whose mission is to make markets work well for consumers. We do this through the use of a variety of tools and instruments that the legislator has given to us including,but not limited to, enforcement of competition rules under a prohibition regime.
