The AFTA is the independent competition authority of Aruba. As an independent administrative body with legal personality, we promote and safeguard fair and effective competition in Aruba. This means that we ensure that competition between companies is not hindered, restricted, or distorted, and that companies do not abuse their dominant position. Our core task is to oversee and enforce compliance with the Competition Ordinance. For this purpose, we have effective investigative and enforcement tools. For example, the AFTA can request written and oral information and conduct announced and unannounced company visits. Companies are obligated to cooperate with an investigation by the AFTA under penalty of a fine. In addition, we provide advice to the government, both solicited and unsolicited, on the competitive implications of existing and proposed regulations, as well as on market dynamics in Aruba. The intention is for the AFTA to eventually evolve into an integrated market supervisor that also acts as a market regulator and protects consumers against unfair trading practices. We are looking for candidates for the position of (senior) researcher.
