Abstract
Irrespective of the strong influence of the European competition law system, the WAEMU, the AndeanC and the CARICOM have adopted different institutional designs, ranging from a decentralized system, in which member states and national competition law authorities are vested with most competition law enforcement competences (e.g. CARICOM) to a centralized system, in which the main focus of competition law enforcement remains regional (e.g. WAEMU).
