Following our Client Alert published on October 8th (available here), on October 16, 2025, the President appointed Andrea Marván Saltiel as Chairwoman of the National Antitrust Commission (the "CNA").  As a result, as of October 17:

‍

1. The constitutional reform on organic simplification, published on December 20, 2024, in the Official Gazette of the Federation (“DOF”) will enter into force, through which the Federal Economic Competition Commission ("COFECE") and the Federal Telecommunications Institute ("IFT") are officially extinguished, and the CNA will start operating as the sole antitrust authority.
   ‍
2. The  investigation procedures conducted by the Investigative Authorities of COFECE and IFT, are resumed. Pursuant to a notice issued on October 21 by the CNA, due to the transition, the statutory deadlines were suspended from October 17 to 21, 2025, and therefore the computation of deadlines shall commence as of today.
   ‍

Until these legal framework is issued and published, the Organic Statute, as well as Regulatory Provisions, Criteria, Guidelines and other regulations issued by COFECE, will remain in force, in everything that does not oppose the Decree amending, adding and repealing various provisions of the Federal Economic Competition Law and the Federal Law on Parastatal Entities, published in the DOF on July 16th, 2025.
