Competition infringements, Debarment and Self cleaning

The LIDC and LIDC Nex Gen will be holding a lunchtime webinar on 26th May 2026 at 14:00 – 15:00 pm (CET) / 13:00 – 14:00 (UK).
During this webinar, our speakers will provide an analysis of the main competition law infringements , with a particular focus on the most significant enforcement practices (including collusive agreements and exchanges of sensitive information), as well as their legal, economic, and reputational implications.

The session will also examine the exclusion from public tenders and the prohibition on contracting with the public sector under Spanish law, which have emerged as some of the most severe consequences of competition law infringements. Particular attention will be given to their practical application, scope, and the criteria currently applied by the Spanish Competition Authority (CNMC).
In addition, the webinar will address the “self-cleaning” mechanism, exploring how companies can restore their reliability vis-á-vis public authorities through the adoption of effective remedial measures, and how Spanish authorities assess the adequacy and credibility of such measures in light of evolving national practice.
