| description |
During 2003, the World Bank Institute
sent a needs assessment questionnaire to 48 competition
agencies in transition and emerging countries in Africa,
Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Responses were classified
according to the World Bank's analytical regional
grouping and the evidence allows a cross-regional comparison
of competition agencies' workload, personnel, priority
sectors, and training needs. The view of competition
authorities as a homogenous group across countries and
regions can be discarded. The analysis of the needs
assessment questionnaire shows that there are significant
heterogeneities among competition agencies' mandates,
exempted sectors, professional personnel endowment, and
capacity needs. An important lesson for the design of
training courses is that competition agencies do not need
introductory courses. There is a significant demand for
training on substance, on how to solve day-to-day
technically challenging cases. Responses confirm the growing
importance of competition policy issues in infrastructure
services (such as market foreclosure and access to essential
facilities) and the need to foster coordination between
sector regulators and competition agencies. |
