Competition policy CMA and Department of Business and Trade and CMA sign memorandum of understanding over international co-operation and consumer law enforcement

The CMA has published a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) concerning international co-operation on competition and consumer law enforcement. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 introduces measures that bolster collaboration between the UK’s competition and consumer authorities and their counterparts overseas.

The MoU provides the framework for cross-border co-operation between DBT and the CMA. It outlines expectations, roles and responsibilities for joint working, including:

  • the sharing of relevant information for use in civil and criminal investigations and proceedings;
  • the provision of investigative assistance to regulators abroad; and
  • arrangements for international co-operation.
