Biography
The Directorate-General for Competition is a Directorate-General of the European Commission, located in Brussels. The DG Competition employs around 900 officials. It is responsible for establishing and implementing competition policy for the European Union. It enforces Articles 101-106 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) "in cooperation with national competition authorities." DG Competition is considered to be one of the most sophisticated antitrust enforcers in the world, alongside the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. However, it operates with more independence than either American counterpart, being "structurally more insulated from political and lobbying pressures." Between 1990 and 2025, DG Competition imposed a total of 30 billion euros in fines for cartel infringements after court adjustments.
