The Competition Commission (ECC) is launching for the first time a nationwide communication campaign to promote the whistleblowing institution in the media, inspired by relevant European directives.

-falsification of tenders and offers,
-the pricing of products / services,
-purchase sharing / customer sharing,
– the restriction or control of production, markets or technical development,
-exclusion of competitors and products from the market, etc.,
-anti-competitive behaviors by dominant companies that impose unfair prices or unfair trading conditions, etc.
