Invitation: Fair Market Conditions for Competitiveness Kick Off Event

Dear Collective Action Community of Serbia,

Please join us for the upcoming OECD global kick-off event for the project on Fair Market Conditions for Competitiveness in Six OECD Partner Countries, which will take place on 25th November 2021 at 10:30 am – 12:30 pm (Central European Time).

It builds on the experience and demonstrated impact of the ongoing project on Fair Market Conditions for Competitiveness in the Adriatic Region conducted under the umbrella of the OECD South East Europe Regional Programme and supported by the Siemens Integrity Initiative.

As such, the global kick-off event will initiate the second phase of our collaboration in Serbia. It will be followed by a country-specific kick-off meeting to be held on 9 December for which we will send you an invitation soon.

This event gathers government officials, business representatives, civil society and academia from Algeria, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa and Uzbekistan. It is the occasion to launch the project on Fair Market Conditions for Competitiveness, to share global lessons from Collective Action initiatives and to provide a forum to debate how Collective Action can help fight corruption while taking into account the country-specific challenges.

Speakers include:

• Mr. Andreas SCHAAL, Director, OECD Global Relations Secretariat
• Mr. Shawn TEIXEIRA, Legal and Compliance, Director Collective Action, Siemens AG
