The Competition Commission of Mauritius was established by the Competition Act 2007.  It became fully operational in 2009 and has so far launched seven investigations of restrictive practices under the Act.  They are now seeking a new Executive Director to lead the 20-strong team from early 2011.

 The Executive Director is empowered by law to launch and carry out investigations, supported by the staff of the CCM.  Final decisions on investigations are taken by the five Commissioners, who can determine and implement remedies and penalties, where needed, without reference to Government.  The Executive Director also leads the institution as Chief Executive, and must represent it, and promote the Competition Act more generally, externally.  See the Commission’s website for more information about the CCM.

 Full details are available on the website of the Prime Minister’s Office at: http://www.gov.mu/portal/goc/pmo/file/Exe_Director_CCM.doc

Interested candidates are requested to send their applications together with their CV and motivation letter to the Permanent Secretary, Prime Minister’s Office at mail address: pmo@mail.gov.mu by Tuesday 12 October 2010.
