Rome, September 22, 2025 — Italy’s competition watchdog has extended the deadline for stakeholders to submit comments on its ongoing inquiry into the school publishing sector, giving interested parties until October 15, 2025 to respond.
The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) launched the sectoral investigation in September 2024. A preliminary report on the inquiry was published on the authority’s website in July 2025, with an initial deadline of September 30 for comments. Following requests from industry stakeholders, AGCM has now granted a two-week extension.
The AGCM has underscored that the study is general in scope and not directed at any specific company, but aims to assess whether market practices are limiting competition.
AGCM will publish the final report on its website once the review is complete.
