Kroes asks ICC's Competition Commission for support in building growth, jobs

Neelie Kroes

Neelie Kroes, the recently appointed EU Commissioner on Competition, addressed over 40 competition experts from ICC member companies in different sectors and countries last week in Brussels, briefing them on her mandate and encouraging the ICC Commission on Competition to work with her and her team toward building a favourable climate to help businesses create badly needed growth and jobs.

Commissioner Kroes' mandate will focus on implementing the renewed EU partnership for economic growth and jobs through competition policy.

"The key objective of competition policy is to increase Europe's competitiveness though vigorous competition in European and global markets," she said. "Global economic expansion and trade can create real win-win situations. Wealth created elsewhere is not lost prosperity at home: it creates opportunities for all involved."
