The videos are based on information from OECD training webinars regarding the instruments used by foreign competition authorities in their activities, best practices in the field of competition law enforcement and mechanisms for implementation of competition policy in EU countries. The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine provided the Ukrainian version of subtitles for these videos.

There are four training videos currently available on the OECD YouTube channel
