Cento Veljanovski gave a presentation entitled ‘Crises, Cartels and Antitrust’ to the China Institute of International Antitrust and Investment’s (CIIAI) antitrust webinar on 15 September. He examined the case for allowing greater collaboration between competitors including crisis cartels. He was generally negative about loosening antitrust to allow greater cooperation or the suspension of anti cartel prohibitions perhaps with the exception of conservation cartels. The session was chaired by Professor Alison Jones (Kings College, London) with participation from Paul Csiszar (European Commission), Mac Conforti (US Federal Trade Commission) and Craig Seebald (Vinson & Elkins).
