Mark for chapter 5

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

In 2005, 14 projects were concluded:

Competition Report 2005

Annual Report 2004

Nordic benchmark 2005

State aid

The Nordic food market

Growth in the Danish harbours

Building materials

Competition indicators on infrastructure

Free chains and capital chains

Benchmark of public market exposure

Charges

The Competition Report, which is published annually, describes relevant competition and political problems illustrated by both Danish and international examples. The subjects chosen are those of significance to the quality and understanding of the work of the Competition Authority, as well as theoretical and practical problems for the framework conditions of trade and industry. The first Competition Report was published in December 1997. The Competition Report 2005 is the eighth report published in a series.

The Competition Authority also publishes “Competition in Denmark (Annual Report)”, which takes stock of the objectives, results and organization of the Authority. Besides, it contains an analysis of the results achieved by the Authority within the scope of competition, energy, procurement, state aid, etc.
