Cooperation agreements provide CCCS with a framework to cooperate with other competition agencies on competition law enforcement including areas such as notification of cases of mutual interest or significant impact, coordination of enforcement activities, exchange of information, as well as technical cooperation and experience sharing.  Such agreements also serve to enhance CCCS’s capabilities to handle a broader spectrum of cases, including many of which have a cross-border dimension. 

The CCCS entered into a cooperation agreement with the JFTC on 22 June 2017. This is CCCS’s first cooperation agreement with a foreign competition agency. This agreement contains provisions on notifications between CCS and JFTC on enforcement activities, coordination of enforcement activities, exchange of information, and technical cooperation.
