Romania is a party to the dedicated cooperation agreements in the area of competition concluded by EU with third countries. All these agreements follow the provisions of the 2014 OECD Recommendation concerning international co-operation on competition investigations and proceedings among competition agencies and contain provisions on the use of the principle of the negative and positive comity and protection and confidentiality of information. Regarding disclosure of confidential information outside the ECN and appropriate safeguards, cooperation instruments such as second generation agreements signed by the EU as the one with Switzerland, leniency and merger confidentiality waivers models, the OECD Recommendation concerning international cooperation on competition investigations and proceedings and ICN and UNCTAD work in this area that are all currently available to the RCC are currently sought to be experienced by the RCC in its practice. From legal point of view, the waivers may be sought by the RCC only in relation with parties to a matter or third parties located in the EU. Yet, in light of the discussions and best practices gathered in the international arena,the RCC through the International Affairs Directorate launched for internal debate and consideration of legal ways and means for the introduction in Romanian competition law of information gateway provisions i.e exchange of confidential information with non-EU competition authorities, without a prior waiver from the source of the information and subject to the safeguards as provided in the OECD Recommendation concerning international cooperation on competition investigations and proceeding.
