The Danish Competition Council's annual report highlights its perspective on the competition landscape in Denmark, emphasizing upcoming focus areas. These include implementing recently adopted competition law provisions and addressing several major cases of abuse of dominant position. Additionally, an increased number of court cases are being pursued following the transfer of competence to the Competition Council and the Competition and Consumer Authority in 2021.

In the report, the Competition Council signals its intention to concentrate on the financial sector, digitalization, competition-restricting regulations, and green transition. The council also discusses its economic framework and recent outcomes, noting relatively stable financial resources within the competition law domain over the past five to six years despite additional tasks.

Overall, enforcing competition rules yields significant benefits for consumers and other customers, surpassing the resources allocated to these tasks. However, competition intensity in Denmark may have weakened since the turn of the millennium. The Competition Council, along with the Competition and Consumer Authority, collectively serves as an independent competition authority in Denmark.
