Government of Brazil escalates efforts to combat anti-competitive practices in 2024.

Access to information is essential in ensuring transparency and accountability within any organization. At CADE, we prioritize providing the public with access to information to promote understanding of our structure, services, and actions.

Our organizational structure is designed to support our mission of promoting competition and protecting consumers in Brazil. From the Office of the President to the Administrative Tribunal, Department of Economic Studies, and the Office of the Attorney General at CADE, each sector plays a crucial role in enforcing antitrust regulations and ensuring fair market competition.

Within our service channels, individuals can easily access information on cases, report violations, and contact us with any concerns. We believe in maintaining open communication with the public to foster trust and collaboration in our efforts to uphold competition laws.

When it comes to accessing information about CADE, individuals can explore various avenues, including our publications, guidelines, economic studies, and the Journal of Competition Defense. These resources contain valuable insights into our work and the impact of our decisions on the market.

One of the key areas of focus at CADE is our Actions and Programs. By implementing strategic planning and relevant programs, we aim to enhance competition and protect consumers. Through our initiatives, such as the Leniency Program, we encourage companies to come forward with information on anticompetitive practices in exchange for leniency.

Additionally, bilateral and multilateral cooperation plays a significant role in our work. By collaborating with other competition authorities globally, we can more effectively combat antitrust violations that transcend borders. Our participation in events and workshops, such as the ICN Merger Workshop 2022, allows us to exchange best practices and strengthen our enforcement efforts.

Furthermore, our commitment to providing access to information is evident in our efforts to publish decisions on leniency agreement cases, template documents, and applicable laws. This transparency is essential in building credibility and ensuring that our decisions are based on sound legal principles.

In conclusion, access to information is vital in promoting transparency, accountability, and collaboration in our work at CADE. We remain committed to providing the public with comprehensive information about our structure, services, and actions to foster trust and support in our mission to safeguard competition and protect consumers in Brazil.
