5 Projects and reports

A major part of the development work of the Authority takes place in projects that analyse fundamental problems in the various ields of the Authority. 12-14 full-time equivalents are currently set aside for projects. This approach to the cases has led to a more eficient utilisation of resources, as the project results provide the Authority with a better basis for its day-to-day case work. The project results are published in separate reports or in the annual Competition Report.

The Competition Report, which is published annually, describes relevant competition-political problems illustrated by examples in international as well as in Danish connections. Subjects selected are those of signiicance to the quality and understanding of the work of the Competition Authority, plus theoretical and practical circles of problems for the framework conditions of trade and industry. The first Competition Report was published in December 1997. The Competition Report 2003 is the sixth.

The Competition Authority also publishes “Competition in Denmark (Annual Report)”, which reports on the objectives, results and organisation of the Authority. Besides, it contains an analysis of the results which the Authority has achieved in the ield of competition, energy, procurement, state aid, etc.

In the public procurement area, four reports were published in 2002:

  • Final report on the implementation of the pilot project on public procurement
  • Report on the study on pre-contract problem-solving systems
  • Experiences with solution of cross-border problems in public procurement procedures
  • The application of the Public Procurement Directives in three speciic sectors

In 2002, seven projects were concluded, and three were close to conclusion:
