Corporate influence in competition policymaking

 OECD, here.

What to do also about corporate influence in international organizations and networks active in competition policysteering? How does this fit within the very helpful Table 1? 

["Story two — an academic associated with an institute funded by several large technology firms signed an amicus brief opposing a country’s enforcement action. Later, without disclosing that fact, they gave a purportedly expert presentation at the OECD attacking that same enforcement action and advocating the OECD take a position favoring the institute’s funders" - J. Kanter, here

When I was still attending ICN conferences as a NGA, I was also personally struck by the army of corporate NGAs present. I wonder if this has changed since.
