On 30 November 2022, the President of the Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC), Mr Ioannis Lianos, was re-elected as a regular member to the Bureau of the OECD Competition Committee for the year 2023. The President of the HCC will serve this office for a third consecutive term having successfully fulfilled his term for the years 2021 and 2022. It should be noted that the election of Mr Lianos as a regular member to the 2021 Bureau of the OECD Competition Committee has been the first time that a Greek official was elected to this office, representing the Hellenic Competition Commission.

Following his re-election, Mr Lianos stated: “The OECD Bureau plays an important coordinating role within the framework of OECD Competition Committee, setting the agenda for the discussions of the most prominent international competition organisation. It is a great honor for me to be re-elected to this office by the OECD Bureau members and to work with outstanding colleagues from other OECD Member States. I envisage this role as involving not only my task to represent the Hellenic Competition Commission, but also to continue my efforts to promote a progressive agenda on competition law at a time of drastic socio-economic and technological changes".
