A questionnaire was sent out to the competition authorities of the Mediterranean Partners in July 2002.

Part of this research was presented at a workshop on Competition Rules in Euromed Countries with a Special Emphasis on Network Industries, during the "Fourth Mediterranean Social and Political Research Meeting," held in Florence in March 2003. Mohammed Lahouel (UniversitÈ Libre de Tunis) prepared a background study on the enforcement of competition rules in Tunisia, whose results are reflected in Chapter 8. The paper was peer reviewed by Pedro Alba (World Bank), Bertin Martens, (European Commission), Richard Messick (World Bank), and John Speakman (World Bank). Particular thanks go to Elisabetta Capannelli (PPMI) for her thorough editing of the paper and to Ulrike Hauer (European Commission), Daniel M¸ller-Jentsch (PPMI), and Stephen Ryan (European Commission), who took the time to review and make excellent comments to the paper.
