Overview

Regulation 1/2003 and EU Antitrust Enforcement, a systematised article-by-article expert commentary on Regulation 1/2003, with additional insights and critical views by highly experienced and qualified authors, provides an in-depth examination of the Regulation’s legal achievements, implications, and promise for the future.


What’s in this book:

Each of the Regulation’s articles analyses and covers the following aspects:

 

  • legislative history;
  • rationale and context;
  • practice of the Commission and, where relevant, of the national competition authorities;
  • case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union;
  • international aspects; and
  • outstanding and problematic issues.


In conjunction with the article commentaries, ‘boxes’ have been added on specific issues of particular salience. The book’s second part includes critical reflections on the perspectives from members and staff of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Competition and Legal Service, heads of national competition authorities and of national courts, counsel, economists, consumer organisations, and academics. A comparative analysis of various aspects of antitrust enforcement in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States has also been furnished.

 

How this will help you:

This nonpareil book will aid practitioners and in-house counsel, case handlers and policymakers to approach any competition case before the Commission with full awareness of the applicable procedural rules. It will help them to gain a clear understanding of the enforcer’s powers and duties, and also the various options available to the undertakings involved in antitrust proceedings and their rights.
