Twenty years have gone by since the establishment of the General Court of the European Union (EU). Against the wealth of judgments that have been handed down in this time, this book provides a thorough analysis of the system ofjudicial review in competition law cases. The book compiles a series of studies and commentaries prepared by high-profile academics, judges, public officiais, and practitioners for the Sixth Annual Conference of the Global Competition Law Centre (GCLC), a research tenter of the College of Europe. A broad range of issues relating to the European Courts' case-law on the application of Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU"), t...
Throughout this unprecedented crisis which is hitting all major economies in the EU, the escalation of the Eurozone recession increasingly undermines public confidence in the ability of competitive markets to deliver positive outcomes. A debate on the most appropriate way to enforce competition rules, in light of the crisis, is definitely useful. A “relaxed” stance to competition during difficult periods may be tempting and indeed, this has often been the approach used in the past. However, the enforcement of competition rules is no less important during times of crisis than during normal periods. It has also been argued that, when public resources are stretched to the limit and business...
The controversy surrounding EU competition rules has grown in recent years. Pressure from such phenomena as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and the digital economy have fostered a fragmentation in the interpretation of the rules at both national and EU levels. This volume takes stock of the current situation, assessing the successes and failures of the prevailing ‘modernisation’ policy and setting forth a range of potential legal adaptations designed to offer the right responses to a rapidly changing world. The book’s contributions are based on papers delivered at the 2022 Annual Conference of the Global Competition Law Center (GCLC) at the College of Europe in Bruges. The author...
The year 2014 marked the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of Regulation No. 1/2003. Since one of its key objectives was to decentralise the enforcement of EU competition law, the GCLC dedicated its annual conference to reviewing the first ten years of implementation, with the aim of identifying what has and has not worked at NCA and national court level.00In order to bring an empirical perspective to this area, the GCLC organised a series of Decentralised Lunch Talk at three prominent NCAs (France, Italy and Poland). The talks facilitated the gathering of empirical data on the implementation of Regulation No. 1/2003 at national level and enabled a comparison of the various experience...
This volume revisits the core principles defining the antitrust discipline in Europe and thereby addresses the widespread perception that the boundaries of the notion of restriction of competition have blurred over the past decade due to modernisation.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
This book makes an important contribution to the growing corpus of State aid economics. In assessing a wide span of State aid issues, including frameworks and justifications for economic analysis in State aid, and the work and policies of the European Commission, it provides a firm foundation for the growth of the discipline of State aid economics, and offers valuable food for thought on State aid, for students, practitioners and policy makers alike." Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner for Competition
