Press Release – Meeting with the Moroccan Circle of Competition Law Practitioners

Rabat, May 21, 2026 – The Competition Council organized, in partnership with the Moroccan Circle of Competition Law Practitioners (CMPDC), a meeting dedicated to strengthening exchanges around the challenges related to the application of competition rules and the evolution of markets.

This initiative is part of a continuous dynamic of dialogue and consultation with competition law practitioners, aiming to consolidate the bridges between professional practice and institutional action.

The meeting was a privileged opportunity for consultation and exchanges, allowing the sharing of analyses from field experience, deepening the understanding of the state of competition in various economic sectors, and putting into perspective the operational realities encountered in handling cases.

Discussions focused on three main themes:
