On 17 January 2019, Margrethe Vestager, Commissioner for Competition, hosted a one-day conference featuring a keynote speech by Nobel laureate Professor Jean Tirole, in Brussels on "Shaping competition policy in the era of digitisation".
Research and policy advice on competition including monopolisation, cartels, mergers, liberalisation, intervention, competition enforcement and regulatory reform., In November 2016, the OECD held a hearing discussion on Big Data to explore the implications on competition authorities' work and whether competition law is the appropriate tool for dealing with issues arising from the use Big Data.

Within a single bacterial cell, genes are reversibly induced and repressed by transcriptional control in order to adjust the cell’s enzymatic machinery to its immediate nutritional and physical environment. Single-celled eukaryotes, such as yeasts, also possess many genes that are controlled in response to environmental variables (e.g., nutritional status, oxygen tension, and temperature). Even in the organs of higher animals — for example, the mammalian liver — some genes can respond reversibly to external stimuli such as noxious chemicals. In general, however, metazoan cells are protected from immediate outside influences; that is, most cells in metazoans experience a fairly constant environment. Perhaps for this reason, genes that respond to environmental changes constitute a much smaller fraction of the total number of genes in multicellular organisms than in single-celled organisms.

Économie politique de la santé. Un exemple exemplaire
The Political Economy of Health care. An exemplary example
Du 9 au 12 juin 2015, la Revue de la régulation a été le partenaire privilégié du colloque international Recherche & Régulation « La théorie de la régulation à l’épreuve des crises » qui s’est tenu à Paris, à l’université Paris Diderot et à l’INALCO. Le colloque a réuni plus de 200 participants d’horizons très divers, avec notamment de fortes délégations venues d’Asie et notamment de Chine et du Japon. La revue aura l’occasion de revenir sur les contenus qui ont été présentés durant ce colloque, aux thématiques marquées par la dimension internationale.
Den Investorenschutz aus TTIP auszuklammern wäre ein Fehler - aber eine Reform sei nötig. Ein internationales Investitionsgericht sollte eingerichtet werden, das über Konflikte zwischen Investoren und Staaten entscheidet, meint Industrievertreter Reinhard Quick. Dies würde Mängel beim Investorenschutz beheben und Bedenken der Bürger Rechnung tragen.
Revue de la régulation. Capitalisme, institutions, pouvoir. Revue semestrielle. La revue vise à fournir un lieu d’expression pour les analyses qui s’inscrivent dans la filiation des recherches régulationnistes ainsi que pour les chercheurs qui souhaitent en débattre.
La théorie de la régulation cherche à expliquer les conditions économiques par lesquelles un groupe social organisé (une nation, un secteur économique, une entreprise…) parvient à se reproduire – ou non – alors qu’il est à la fois affecté par des chocs externes d’origine naturelle et sociale, et animé par des asynchronismes, des conflits, etc. : quelles structures organisent la production et les échanges ? Quelles procédures stabilisent ces modes d’organisation et parviennent à résoudre leurs crises ?
South Africa has decided to stop the automatic renewal of international investment agreements that it signed in the early post-apartheid period, and has announced that some will be terminated. It is right to do so, and other countries, one hopes, will follow suit.
Interest: private speech
When we communicate socially, we appropriate patterns and meanings of this speech and utilise it inwardly to mediate our mental activity, this is what is meant by private speech. Private speech need not be fully syntactic in its form, utterances are not intended to be interpreted by others; they are addressed by the learner to himself - links to the idea that each psychological function appears twice - once interpersonally and then again intra-personally; this intrapersonal processing is private speech. Private speech is a way of internalising linguistic features available in the speaker's environment, often achieved through imitation. we do this when we learn anything new???
The social partners asked the European Commission to forward their agreement for decision by the Council, in accordance with the procedures enshrined in the Treaty, so as to make it binding in the EU member states. Yet before the Commission had taken any initiative whatsoever, ten governments announced that they would oppose any form of regulation in this area.
