A Dictionary of Dutchness

NMa

The Nederlandse Mededingingsautoriteit (competition authority) says its mission is to ‘make markets work’ and ensure ‘healthy competition’. The organisation, which has a workforce of 400, carries out investigations into cartels and looks at proposed mergers and acquisitions to see what effect they may have on the market. The energy and transport sector watchdogs (DTE and Vervoerkamer) also fall under NMa control.
