Bloomsbury Academic Dawn Raids Under Challenge
Book SynopsisThe 2nd edition of this book provides an updated comprehensive analysis of the European Commission''s dawn raid practices from a due process perspective. Examining the obligations imposed by the Charter and the ECHR and the response of the Luxembourg and Strasbourg Courts, the book shows that whereas the Strasbourg Court manages to strike a balance between efficiency concerns and fundamental rights, the approach of the EU Courts is not equally balanced. The dawn raid is a powerful tool on which the European Commission relies heavily in its antitrust investigations. In 2022, the Commission carried out dawn raids in private homes for the first time in many years and it has declared its intent to make greater use of the power to inspect private premises. Furthermore, the European Commission is expanding its dawn raid practices into new areas of law. Both the Digital Markets Act and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation empower the Commission to carry out dawn raids and to impose heavy fines on anyone failing to cooperate. Ensuring adequate procedural safeguards is therefore more important than ever.The book provides an essential and timely examination of this important subject, and is of great practical interest to companies, practitioners, and enforcers. It is also of theoretical interest, offering stimulating reflections on the effectiveness and legitimacy of the Commission''s enforcement powers.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Fairness in Antitrust: Protecting the Strong from the Weak
Book SynopsisWhat drives popular support for state-enforced competition policy? What is it about antitrust law that garners approval from both the public and courts, to the point of demonizing large firms convicted of antitrust offenses? In this book Adi Ayal argues that the populist roots of antitrust are still with us, guiding sentiment towards a legal regime that has otherwise shifted towards economic analysis. Antitrust is very much about fairness and morality; this book assesses how modern policy has hijacked popular support - based on traditional conceptions of political and economic power - to combat market power in narrowly defined micro-markets. Beginning with history, but delving into moral and political philosophy, Professor Ayal shows how arguments concerning fairness in antitrust apply both to monopolists and their victims. Fairness thus requires a balancing test based on context and respecting the rights of all parties involved. While traditionally fairness arguments were used to justify intervention where economic analysis did not, this book assesses them from first principles, to show that pure efficiency analysis is flawed from a moral standpoint when the state intervenes. Protecting weak consumers from strong monopolists may carry rhetorical weight, but the reality of antitrust is that the state is much more powerful than almost all firms it regulates. Protecting the strong from the weak, especially when 'weak' consumers hold legal power and influence, might very well be a moral imperative. This book offers a philosophical account of the conundrum facing competition policy which challenges widely-held yet often implicit and unfounded beliefs.Trade ReviewAdi Ayal is a gifted scholar who uses sophisticated economic, legal and philosophical arguments to reexamine the fundamentals of antitrust law. Not content to accept the economists’ notion of maximizing efficiency, Professor Ayal shows that economists often ignore basic presumptions of property rights’ protection and fairness in their analyses. He argues that even monopolists have rights that require protection in any well-functioning legal regime, though those rights have limits. This book will challenge and perhaps frustrate those who think they know the answer to the question of how to balance the competing stakeholders’ interests under competition policy. What is undeniable is that the book will stimulate thoughtful debate and force analysts to face squarely hard questions that they have ignored. -- Dennis W.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Anti-Cartel Enforcement in a Contemporary Age: Leniency Religion
Book SynopsisLeniency policies are seen as a revolution in contemporary anti-cartel law enforcement. Unique to competition law, these policies are regarded as essential to detecting, punishing and deterring business collusion – conduct that subverts competition at national and global levels. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, practitioners and enforcers from around the world, this book probes the almost universal adoption and zealous defence of leniency policies by many competition authorities and others. It charts the origins of and impetuses for the leniency movement, captures key insights from academic research and practical experience relating to the operation and effectiveness of leniency policies and examines leniency from the perspectives of corporate and individual applicants, advisers and authorities. The book also explores debates surrounding the intersections between leniency and other crucial elements of the enforcement system such as compensation, compliance and criminalisation. The rich critical analysis in the book draws on the disciplines of law, regulation, economics and criminology. It makes a substantial and distinctive contribution to the literature on a topic that is highly significant to a wide range of actors in the field of competition law and business regulation generally. From the Foreword by Professor Frédéric Jenny ‘ … fundamental questions are raised and thoroughly discussed in this book which is undoubtedly the most comprehensive scholarly work on leniency policies produced so far … [the] book should be required reading for all seeking to acquire a deeper insight into the issues related to leniency policy. It is a priceless contribution ... ’Trade ReviewAnti-Cartel Enforcement in a Contemporary Age constitutes a very valuable volume. It challenges the too easily accepted assumptions concerning leniency and it explores many of the under-analysed questions relating to leniency’s place in the broader system of enforcement. It warrants a careful read of policy-makers, competition authorities’ officials and practitioners alike. -- Marek Martyniszyn * Concurrences *Profs Beaton-Wells and Tran assembled first-rate authors, and superbly structured the book's chapters, succeeding in making this book a must-read for both practitioners and scholars of the antitrust/competition. -- Toshiaki Takigawa * Symposium: Antritrust and Competition Policy Blog *...an interesting, timely, and important book.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Harmonisation of EU Competition Law Enforcement
Book SynopsisThis book explores how the EU’s enforcement of competition law has moved from centralisation to decentralisation over the years, with the National Competition Authorities embracing more enforcement powers. At the same time, harmonisation has been employed as a solution to ensure that the enforcement of EU competition rules is not weakened and the internal market remains a level playing field.While employing a comparative law argument, the book, accordingly, analyses the need for harmonisation throughout the different stages of development of the EU’s competition law enforcement (save Merger control and State Aid), the underlying rationale, and the extent to which comparative studies have been undertaken to facilitate the harmonisation process from an historical perspective. It also covers the Directives, such as the Antitrust Damages Directive and the ECN+ Directive. Investigating both public and private enforcement, it also examines the travaux préparatoires for the enforcement legislation in order to discover the drafters’ intent. The book addresses the European and the Member States’ perspectives, namely, the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, as harmonisation proceeds through dialogue and cooperation between the two levels. Lastly, it explores the extent to which harmonisation of the competition law enforcement framework has been accepted and implemented in the Member States’ legal systems, or has led to the fragmentation of the national systems of the CEE countries.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Plethora of Comparative Studies.- EU Conceptual Framework of Harmonisation: Setting the Scene.- Development of EU Competition Law Enforcement from an Historical Perspective: A Call for Harmonisation from the EU.- Institutional Framework of the National Competition Authorities in the Central and Eastern European Countries.- Harmonisation of Public Enforcement: Basic Powers of the National Competition Authorities, Sanctions, and Leniency Policies.- Harmonisation of Private Enforcement in the Central and Eastern European Countries.

Brill The Future of International Competition Law Enforcement: An Assessment of the EU’s Cooperation Efforts
Book SynopsisWhile forces of globalization have created a genuine global marketplace, global rules safeguarding the competitive process in this marketplace have not emerged. International cooperation among national regulators and enforcers is therefore needed to create a competitive global business-environment. The Future of International Competition Law Enforcement, using the variety of legal instruments available to the EU as a point of departure, undertakes an original assessment of the EU's cooperation agreements in the field of competition law The work’s focus is on the bilateral sphere, often labelled as a mere 'interim-solution' awaiting a global agreement; further attention is given to competition provisions in free trade agreements as well as the main multilateral initiatives in this field, in order to determine their relative value.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction: Ready, Willing, and Able?

Brill Due Process and Fair Trial in EU Competition Law: The Impact of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights
Book SynopsisIn Due Process and Fair Trial in EU Competition Law, Cristina Teleki addresses the complex relationship between Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The book is built around the idea that big business can threaten democracy. Due process and fair trial should be central to the process of addressing bigness through competition law, by safeguarding independent decision-making and judicial review and by preventing competition authorities from growing into administrative behemoths threatening democracy from inside. To show this, the book combines a comprehensive review of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights with insight from economics, psychology and systems theory.Table of ContentsList of Tables and Figures Acknowledgements Introduction 1 Scope 2 Methodology PART 1 Foundations 1 Central Issues of Research 1.1 EU Competition Law – A Paradox within EU Law 1.2 The ECtHR – System Design as a Predictor of Success 1.3 ECtHR as a Self-Regulating Tribunal 2 Supporting Issues 2.1 Systems Theory and Social Sciences 2.2 The New Public Management Movement 2.3 Peoples, Consumers and Citizens 2.4 Accession of the EU to the echr 2.5 The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU 3 A Foot in the Past: Existing Literature 3.1 Legal Philosophy 3.2 A Renewed Debate on Human Rights 3.3 A Renewed Imagining of the Trial 3.4 Competition Policy 3.5 Competition Policy and Fundamental Rights PART 2 The Dynamic Evolution of the Right to a Fair Trial Introduction to Part 2 4 The Right to a Fair Trial 4.1 Formulation and Importance of Article 6(1) echr 4.2 Influence of the Case-law of the ECtHR on Domestic Legislation 4.3 External Influences on the Case-law of the ECtHR 5 Applicability of Article 6(1) ECHR 5.1 Maintaining Pockets of State Sovereignty 5.2 Applicability of Article 6(1) ECHR to “Civil Rights and Obligations” 5.3 Applicability of Article 6(1) ECHR to “Criminal Charges” 6 The Right to a Fair Trial – A Tool for Self-Regulation 6.1 The Process Towards Justiciability 6.2 The Role Played by the Academic Community 6.3 The Zeitgeist 6.4 Cooperation with the ECtHR – Four Possible Models PART 3 Fair Trial and the Independence of the Commission as the Competition Enforcement Agency of the EU Introduction to Part 3 7 The Debate on Independence at the Crossroads of the Administrative State, Delegation and IRA s 7.1 The Rise of the Administrative State, Delegation and IRA s 7.2 The UNCTAD 7.3 oecd Roundtable on Changes in Institutional Design of Competition Authorities 7.4 International Competition Network 7.5 Independence of European Regulators 7.6 The European Competition Network 7.7 Empowering NCA s – Directive 1/2019 7.8 The Difficult Case for the Independence of the European Commission 8 The Case-law of the ECtHR on the Right to an Independent and Impartial Tribunal 8.1 Established by Law 8.2 Independence 8.3 Impartiality 8.4 The Relevance of the ECtHR’s Case-Law on Independence and Impartiality 9 The Structure of the European Commission as Enforcer of Competition Law 9.1 The European Commission as a Political Institution 9.2 The European Commission as an Autonomous Bureaucracy 10 The Procedure for Enforcement of Article 101 and 102 tfeu 10.1 The Investigation Phase 10.2 Prohibition Procedure 10.3 Commitments Procedure 10.4 Procedure for Rejection of Complaints 10.5 Settlement Procedures 11 The Commission’s Powers of Investigation 11.1 Sanctions 11.2 Leniency 11.3 Sector Inquiries 11.4 Requests for Information 11.5 The Power to Take Statements 11.6 Powers of Inspection 12 Limits on the Commission’s Powers of Investigation 12.1 General Principles of Limitation 12.2 The Rights of the Defence 13 A Risk-Based Framework for Safeguarding the European Commission’s Independence 13.1 Identifying the Risks to Independence in EU Competition Law Proceedings 13.2 Mitigating the Identified Risks PART 4 Fair Trial and Judicial Review of EU Competition Law Introduction to Part 4 14 Case-law of the ECtHR on the Right to an Effective Judicial Review 14.1 Judicial Review in Administrative Law Disputes 14.2 Judicial Review in Disputes Involving “Criminal Charges” 14.3 Judicial Review in Banking Law Disputes 14.4 Non-Pecuniary Damage for Breach of the Right to Judicial Review 15 Relevance of the ECtHR’s Case-law on the Right to Judicial Review – A Story of Three Models 15.1 Exercise of Administrative Discretion within Polycentric Issues 15.2 Exercise of Administrative Discretion for Monocentric Issues 15.3 Exercise of Administrative Discretion as Policing Power 16 Case-law of EU Courts on the Right to an Effective Judicial Review 16.1 Right to Effective Judicial Protection 16.2 Right to Judicial Review in Competition Law cases – A Matter of Constitutional Design 16.3 Limited Review of Legality – Design by Self-Interpretation 16.4 Unlimited Review of Fines 16.5 Margin of Appreciation of the EU Commission and Unlimited Review of Fines 16.6 The Right to a Fair Legal Process in EU Law 17 Is Judicial Review A Cure for Bigness? 17.1 Adjudication and Economic Evidence 17.2 Adjudication and the Administrative Man 17.3 Adjudication, Bias and Monoculture 17.4 Adjudication and Problems of Organized Complexity Step into the Future: Bigness and Judicial Power Works Cited Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Law and Economics of Article 102 TFEU
Book Synopsis“A reference book in this area of EU competition law and a must-have companion for academics, enforcers and practitioners alike, as well as EU and national judges.” Judge Nils Wahl, Court of Justice of the European Union This seminal text offers an authoritative and integrated treatment of the legal and economic principles that underpin the application of Article 102 TFEU to the behaviour of dominant firms. Traditional concerns of monopoly behaviour, such as predatory pricing, refusals to deal, excessive pricing, tying and bundling, discount practices and unlawful discrimination are treated in detail through a review of the applicable economic principles, the case law and decisional practice and more recent economic and legal writings. In addition, the major constituent elements of Article 102 TFEU, such as market definition, dominance, effect on trade and applicable remedies are considered at length. The third edition involves a net addition of over 250 pages, with a substantial new chapter on Abuses In Digital Platforms, an extensively revised chapter on standards, and virtually all chapters incorporating substantial revisions reflecting key cases such as Intel, MEO, Google Android, Google Shopping, AdSense, and Qualcomm.Trade ReviewToday's [competition] bible is clearly, and without the shadow of a doubt, THE reference on Article 102 TFEU. I guess everyone should thank Robert O'Donoghue and Jorge Padilla for the assistance they have provided to the competition community since the 1st ed. There is a world before and a world after "The Law and Economics of Article 102 TFEU". Clearly, this book should be compulsory reading for anyone approaching the law of abuse of dominance. I guess it should even be subsidised by agencies. * Nicolas Petit, Chillin Competition Blog *Although it takes a law and economics approach, the book is highly accessible to the mere lawyer. * Christopher Stothers, European Competition Law Review, Volume 35, Issue 8 *The work is thoughtful, grammatical, lucid and tightly written...I have not found anything on Article 102 TFEU as easy to follow as this analysis of a difficult topic.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC European Competition Law Annual 2001: Effective
Book SynopsisThe European Competition Law Annual 2001 is the sixth in a series of volumes following the annual workshops on EU Competition Law and Policy held at the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University in Florence. The volume reproduces the materials of the roundtable debate that took place at the sixth edition of the Workshop (1-2 June 2001),which examined the conditions for an effective private enforcement of EC antitrust rules. The application of EC antitrust rules in the context of private litigation before national courts and arbitration tribunals is becoming a highly topical subject against the background of the on-going debate about the decentralisation of EC antitrust enforcement. The participants - a group of senior representatives of the Commission, national judges, arbitrators, renowned academics and international legal experts in the field of antitrust - discussed in particular the following aspects: a) the availability and effectiveness of substantive remedies in the enforcement of EC antitrust rules at the EU level in general and in four major EU jurisdictions in particular (England, France, Italy and Germany); b) the procedural issues arising in the enforcement of EC antitrust rules by national courts in four EU jurisdictions (England, France, Italy and Germany) and at the EU level in general; c) the problems arising in the application of Article 81(3) EC by arbitration tribunals. In addition to these issues, the participants also discussed whether the public enforcement of EC antitrust rules could be rendered more efffective by introducing sanctions applicable to the individuals responsible for their violation.Table of ContentsList of Sponsors Table of Cases INTRODUCTION PANEL ONE: SUBSTANTIVE REMEDIES 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Jurisdiction and Judgments in Relation to EU
Book SynopsisThis book sets out the way that, through enhanced private antitrust enforcement reform, private international law has a pivotal role in EU competition law disputes with an international element. The author offers a thorough analysis of the post-2003 policy of the EU favouring private law enforcement of EU competition law and its implementation under the existing provisions for jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments under the Brussels I regime. The book also considers how the jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments issues are dealt with in England under the common law rules applicable when Brussels I does not apply. The complex private international law problems in respect of cross-border class actions that have arisen in several countries, as well as judgments in relation to antitrust infringements, are also discussed. The author further examines the choice of law issues that may arise before the English courts under Rome I and Rome II. The potential problems regarding jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals and choice of law in arbitral proceedings in relation to EU competition law claims, and the jurisdiction of English courts in proceedings ancillary to arbitration claims, are dealt with accordingly.Trade ReviewDanov draws upon an impressive range of academic, policy and practitioner sources. There is no other book-length treatment of the nexus between competition law and private international law, and practitioners, academics and advanced students from a number of different substantive fields should take something from it. Kathryn Wright European Law Review Volume 37 The book provides an excellent critical analysis of the important challenges to which judges, practitioners, and business decision-makers are confronted with regard to concurrent proceedings in EU competition law and the attempt to solve them through the application of private international law principles. Dr Danov's remarkable study offers a lot of food for thought and an excellent background reading for those interested in deepening the analysis further. Ioannis Lianos World Competition Law and Economics Review 34(3) Danov has succeeded in writing a book that is both intellectually thorough enough to be able to play a significant role in shaping future academic debate as well as sufficiently practical enough to provide a source of inspiration for policy makers.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC International Handbook on Unfair Competition
Book SynopsisWritten by a worldwide team of experts, this new work surveys and comments on the unfair competition laws of the world's leading economic powers. Following a standard pattern, each chapter introduces the reader to the latest developments in each jurisdiction, highlighting the ways in which the basic legislation and case law relates to enforcement issues, and how unfair competition laws fit with wider considerations of consumer protection and within prevailing intellectual property and competition law frameworks. Each of the country reports follows the same standard structure: I. Background and General Approach to Unfair Competition Law. II. Legal Basis of Unfair Competition Law and Relations to Neighbouring Areas of Law III. General Considerations IV. General Clause Against Unfair Competition V. Marketing V. Protection of Competitors Against Unfair Trade Practices VI. Specific Protection of Consumers Against Unfair Trade Practices VII. Enforcement Country Reports § 1 Australia § 2 Austria § 3 Brazil § 4 Canada § 5 China § 6 France § 7 Germany § 8 Hungary § 9 India § 10 Italy § 11 Japan § 12 Lithuania § 13 Netherlands § 14 Poland § 15 Spain § 16 South Africa § 17 Sweden § 18 Switzerland § 19 Turkey § 20 UK § 21 USATrade ReviewThere are at least three broad reasons why this book should be regarded as a welcome addition to any law library. First, it gives easy access to a wide variety of legal jurisdictions, many of whose laws are only comprehensible to those familiar with their respective native languages, to an English-reading audience. In addition, key legal terms in French and German, for example, are identified and explained in English to give the reader a more nuanced understanding of the jurisprudential contours of these legal systems. Furthermore, each country report includes a very substantial bibliography of reference materials relevant to the unfair competition laws of that particular jurisdiction. Secondly, despite the relatively modest length of each country report, the authors have succeeded in providing the reader with a sufficiently comprehensive picture of the different facets of their respective unfair competition law regimes. General clauses in statutes are analysed alongside leading case law from national and, in the case of Europe, supranational tribunals. Activity-specific regulations dealing with diverse practices, from ambush marketing to comparative advertising, and from trademark dilution to consumer protection regulations, are also examined in some detail. Thirdly, through the first few chapters of the book, the editor has done a very commendable job of constructing a helpful conceptual and thematic framework for understanding the many different moving parts that make up the machinery behind each country’s unfair competition laws. -- Burton Ong * Singapore Journal of Legal Studies, 2013 *Table of ContentsTable of Contents A) General § 1 What is Unfair Competition? § 2 International Protection Against Unfair Competition § 3 Regional Protection Against Unfair Competition B) Country Reports § 1 Australia § 2 Austria § 3 Brazil § 4 Canada § 5 China § 6 France § 7 Germany § 8 Hungary § 9 India § 10 Italy § 11 Japan § 12 Lithuania § 13 Netherlands § 14 Poland § 15 Spain § 16 South Africa § 17 Sweden § 18 Switzerland § 19 Turkey § 20 UK § 21 USA C) Outlook

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC European Merger Remedies: Law and Policy
Book SynopsisAs merger transactions become more complex, so do the remedies involved. This book seeks to identify and examine the most important aspects of merger remedies, which have emerged and evolved in the European Commission's policy and practice over the past 20 years. The in-depth analysis of applicable provisions and guidelines is structured in accordance with a typical 'remedies lifecycle': the negotiation, submission, assessment, adoption, implementation and enforcement of remedies. Furthermore, numerous conditional clearance decisions and judgments as well as studies and legal literature on the subject are described and put into a coherent analytical framework with the aim of providing as much nuance as possible in the evaluation of the Commission's past and present remedies policy and practice. While the Commission indisputably has accomplished numerous successes in its remedies enforcement over the years, it has also encountered some significant obstacles and shortcomings along the way. To this effect, the final chapter in the book critically assesses whether the current framework, which has remained unchanged since 2008, continues to provide an adequate regulatory response to today's remedies issues and challenges. Where adjustments and improvements are deemed desirable or necessary, possible measures are considered.Trade ReviewThere is so much to recommend about this book. It is an incisive and comprehensive work which is reflective enough for academics but written in a way which proves useful to practitioners - an admirable combination and accomplishment. -- Dr Vincent J G Power * European Competition Law Review *Table of Contents1.
