The Competition Policy Advisory Group (COMPAG) today (February 16) published its 2013-2014 Annual Report, which is available online at the COMPAG website www.compag.gov.hk.¡@
A Government spokesman said, "The report reviews the complaints received by COMPAG during the year and outlines the progress of investigation and follow-up actions taken.
"With the enactment of the Competition Ordinance, the Government is now working closely with the Competition Commission and the Judiciary with a view to bringing the Ordinance into full operation. The report also sets out the key elements of the Competition Ordinance as well as the latest developments on the implementation of the Ordinance."
COMPAG was established in December 1997 under the chairmanship of the Financial Secretary to co-ordinate the Government's efforts in promoting competition, to review competition issues that have substantial policy or systemic implications, and to give directions to bureaux and departments on such matters.
