"The OECD Competition Assessment Review of Portugal summarises the main findings of this project. Volume 1 deals with the transports sector and Volume 2 with the self-regulated professions. Increased competition in markets for products and services can improve a country’s economic performance, open business opportunities and reduce the cost of goods and services to the benefit of consumers. However, it is often the case that numerous laws and regulations that ought to help market players instead restrict competition in the marketplace. In Portugal, regulatory constraints are present in many sectors of the economy and hold back economic dynamism. In October 2016, the OECD has teamed up with the Portuguese Competition Authority (PCA) to carry out a thorough and independent policy assessment in Portugal to identify rules and regulations that may hinder the efficient functioning of markets in the sectors of transportation (railways, road, maritime transport and ports) and in 13 self-regulated professions (lawyers, solicitors, bailiffs, notaries, engineers, technical engineers, architects, auditors, certified accountants, customs brokers, economists, pharmacists and nutritionists). Making use of the methodology in the Competition Assessment Toolkit, a project team composed of competition experts, economists and lawyers from OECD and the Portuguese Competition Authority, reviewed existing legislation and regulations in the selected sectors, and proposed pro-competitive changes, in line with the 2009 OECD Recommendation on Competition Assessment." |
