On 30 November, the President of CADE, Alexandre Cordeiro Macedo, was elected a member of the Competition Committee Bureau of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)—the first Brazilian to ever occupy the position. The election happened during a meeting of the Competition Committee held in Paris, France.
The Bureau—the steering group of the OECD Competition Committee—is elected from representatives to the committee's antitrust authorities. The group proposes working guidelines and discussion topics and offers the OECD secretariat detailed guidance on the committee's work plan, especially for management and planning purposes.
As a new member of the Bureau, President Cordeiro is expected to have a greater influence on the committee's decisions and a more active role in proposing antitrust public policies with a global scope.
According to Mr Cordeiro, "winning the election was a result of CADE's increased participation in the committee and continuous work to align Brazilian public policies with international best practices in a systematic, harmonious, and coherent way towards the OECD's excellence standards."
