EC competition law, 4th ed.

Abstract:

This latest edition follows the traditions established by the author in his first edition some fifteen years ago. It contains a full account of the substantive law in the context of its historical development and a thorough assessment of its practical effectiveness and likely future development.

New to this edition:

• Coverage of distribution agreements under the revised block exemption
• The Commission's major and successful campaigns against cartels
• The application and interpretation of Article 82
• The controversial topic of the Merger Regulation
• A detailed review of the Commission's modernisation programme, set from 2004 to decentralise much of the application of competition policy to national courts and competition authorities.

The work will interest the advanced student, the practitioner, the academic and government and Community officials.
