EU-UK Competition Cooperation Agreement Formalizes Antitrust Collaboration
The EU-UK Competition Cooperation Agreement, signed in February 2026, aims to formalize collaboration between EU competition authorities and the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This agreement is set to enter into force following formal ratification by both parties. It includes provisions for exchanging confidential information and highlights differences compared to EU cooperation arrangements with other countries. The agreement is a significant development in the context of Brexit, as it seeks to maintain robust cooperation in antitrust and merger control investigations between the EU and UK.
