Abstract

There is nothing simple and straightforward about competition authorities, their design and operations. Even in the most developed countries, those with a long and uninterrupted tradition of market economy and competition policy enforcement, there are dilemmas about the role, organisation, leverage, accountability, and funding of the competition authorities, among other things. There is no blueprint for the first best design of competition authorities, but rather certain guidelines and best practices—and not all of them consistent over time. It is hardly surprising that in South-East Europe the dilemmas are multiplied, as the region does not have a long tradition of market economy and competition policy enforcement; for most of the countries in the Region competition policy is a novel notion, and rule of law is not exactly a regional hallmark. Clearly, challenges for institution building of competition authorities in South-East Europe are immense.
