One of the main functions of the CNC is competition advocacy. In a broad sense, competition advocacy tries to promote knowledge in and encourage defense of competition issues: for example, through studies and specific work documents or by organizing technical seminars on defense of competition matters. Therefore, advocacy is viewed as a good way to encourage competition culture.
Nonetheless, in a stricter sense competition advocacy aims at promoting competition among those sectors where it´s restrained, by issuing sectorial reports which usually include liberalization proposals, deregulations or regulatory modifications. In many occasions, the reports are addressed to the Public Administration, analizing the legislation in force and regulatory projects in order to determine if they could result in negative consequences for competition and if that would be the case, to draw up appropriate recommendations.
