CLDP sponsored the travel of the president and vice president of the Tunisian Competition Council (TCC) to the U.S. to participate in the Fordham Annual Conference on International Antitrust Law and Policy in New York City and consultations with U.S. government agencies (including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice) and legal experts in Washington, D.C., October 1-3.

CLDP organized the consultations in close cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration, MEPI and Tunisia’s Ministry of Health/Directorate of Pharmacy. The consultations focused on content and development of US safety and regulation in the pharmaceutical sector.

Given the challenges facing the Tunisian economy, the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia and the MOJ have concluded consultations in the U.S. on “Law and Economics” for a small team of judges from a “think tank” of the MOJ called CEJJ (Centre d’Etudes Juridiques et Judiciaires) for the purpose of enabling CEJJ to better contribute to the modernization of the Tunisian economy, and, as importantly, would bolster initiatives to expand the Rule of Law in Tunisia.
