Commission publishes 2025 Report on competition policy

The European Commission has published its Report on competition policy for 2025. The report presents the main legislative initiatives and policy developments of 2025, as well as a selection of enforcement actions, to citizens, businesses and the competition policy community.

The report shows competition policy is a key driver for a competitive, clean, just, and resilient Single Market. In a period of geopolitical tensions and significant technology shifts, the Commission continued its wide-ranging review of regulations and guidelines. These reviews aim to keep competition rules relevant and effective in a rapidly changing world, while maintaining continuity in policy-making and enforcement. This process also focuses on simplifying procedures and reducing costs for all parties involved.

The report is submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the European Committee of the Regions, illustrating the cooperation between EU institutions. The full text of the report and the accompanying staff working document, which includes a comprehensive overview of policy developments and enforcement actions sector by sector, are available online. An infographic providing an overview of key milestones reached in 2025, is also available online.
