INVITATION

Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen

The Swiss Competition Commission is proud to host the 8th Annual Conference of the International Competition Network ("ICN"), which will take place 3-5 June 2009, in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Conference will be devoted to the discussion of the results of the various ICN working groups as well as to a general exchange of views regarding competition law and policy amongst the participants, coming from all over the world and representing competition agencies as well as non governmental bodies.

In addition, the Conference will discuss the results of a special project on Competition Law in Small Economies, which is being prepared by the competition agencies of Switzerland and Israel.

I am confident that the Conference will generate considerable public attention and that its proceedings will bring us another step closer towards the common goal of a sound competition policy, worldwide in scope but adapted to the specific needs of each country.

It will be my great pleasure, on behalf of the Swiss Competition Commission, to welcome you in Zurich next spring.

Walter A. Stoffel
President of the Swiss Competition Commission
