THE Department of Justice-Office for Competition (DOJ-OFC) on Monday formed a group that will provide procompetitive and regulatory reforms in three major sectors—energy, telecommunications and transportation.
In a news statement, Justice Secretary Leila B. de Lima said the newly constituted Competition and Regulatory Reforms Experts Group (CRREG) will be composed of individuals who are known experts in the field of competition policy and law, regulatory reform, and good governance.
Also part of the CRREG are scholars and sectoral experts and representatives from OFC.
“This experts group, which is multisectoral in nature, will provide technical expertise and strategic advice on how to design and implement competition and policy reforms in key sectors of the Philippine economy,” de Lima said.
“This [group] will add fresh perspectives and innovative insights in promoting the understanding of competition and regulatory policy, particularly those involving public interest,” she added.
DOJ-OFC Head Assistant Secretary Geronimo Sy said nominations for the composition of CRREG is ongoing and interested individuals are advised to contact the OFC for details.
“This initiative indicates OFC’s consultative and inclusive approach to competition and regulatory reforms by enabling stakeholders and partners to have a voice in developing procompetitive and efficient regulatory regime in key sectors,” Sy said.
The CRREG will be formally launched during the Third Joint International Forum: Facilitating Pro-Competitive and Regulatory Reforms on Tuesday in Manila. source
