In recent years, the Hellenic Competition Commission has taken steps to diversify and expand considerably its advocacy efforts and overall outreach activities, both as a result of the ongoing financial crisis and the sustained role of the HCC in promoting structural reforms in the context of Greece’s Economic Adjustment Programme.
