Abstract: This note reviews major developments which have taken place at the national, regional and multilateral levels in the field of competition law and policy, more particularly since November 1995, when the Third United Nations Conference to Review All Aspects of the Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices was held. At the multilateral level, mention is made of UNCTAD's cooperation with the World Bank and WTO, as well as the outcome of UNCTAD X (February 2000). The note then reviews the operation of the Set in the field of competition, looking at its main provisions, drawing attention to their actuality and evaluating the extent to which they have been implemented to date. An evaluation is made of progress in implementation by States members of UNCTAD and by the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law and Policy of the resolution adopted by the Third Review Conference, drawing attention to technical cooperation, informal consultations and specific studies undertaken by the Group. Finally, the note looks at possible activities in the field of competition law and policy which the Fourth Review Conference might wish to launch in the light of the decisions taken by UNCTAD X
