"I want to talk briefly about five main areas: (i) the CMA itself; (ii) market investigations; (iii) mergers; (iv) “antitrust”; and (v) the criminal cartel offence. I will not have time to cover regulatory issues, impact assessments, remedies, cost recovery, fees and many other important things, but I am sure these will be picked up by others today."
