Abstract
Even though members of the World Trade Organization decided not to
negotiate a multilateral framework on competition policy in the context of the Doha Round a growing number of them have agreed to international rules on competition law and policy in regional trade agreements (RTAs). Having summarized the main types of competition provisions in RTAs, this chapter then explores the possible lessons of this form of international rule-making for potential future multilateral initiatives on competition law and its enforcement. It is argued that, at the moment, particular care must be taken not draw erroneous conclusions for the latter.
