History
On September 10, 1962 CADE was created as an organ of the Ministry of Labor during the government of President João Goulart by Law No. 4,137. From its creation until 1991, it remained largely inactive being used as an instrument of the State.
Law No. 8,884, of June 11, 1994, revoked Law No. 4,137 and transformed CADE into a federal agency linked to the Ministry of Justice.
In November 2011, Law No. 12,529 was approved, entering into force in May 2012. This law made numerous changes in the autarchy, especially from an organizational and procedural perspective.
Structure
CADE's main bodies are the Administrative Court (TADE), the General Superintendence (SG) and the Department of Economic Studies (DEE). TADE has the role of judging competition matters, playing preventive, repressive and educational roles within the Brazilian market. The SG mainly plays the role of instructing the processes in the control of conducts and concentrations and of monitoring the market. DEE prepares economic studies in order to assist TADE and SG.
