Non-Competition Interests in EU Antitrust Law cover

This book is the first to empirically study the role of non-competition interests in Article 101 TFEU enforcement.

This is the first empirical study comprehensively examining the role of non-competition interests (public policy) in the enforcement of EU competition law based on over 3,100 EU and national cases. It is a key resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in EU competition and administrative law enforcement.This book is the first to empirically examine the role of non-competition interests (public policy) in the enforcement of the EU's prohibition on anti-competitive agreements. Based on an original quantitative and qualitative database of over 3,100 cases, this book records all of the public enforcement actions of Article 101 TFEU taken by the Commission, EU Courts, and the national competition authorities and courts of five representative Member States (France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, and the UK). The book not only exposes explicit tools in which non-competition interests played a role, but also sheds light on the “dark matter” of balancing, namely, invisible forms of balancing triggered by the institutional and procedural setup of the competition enforcers. Moreover, it contributes to the empirical-legal study of various other aspects of EU competition law enforcement, such as its objectives, the more economic approach, decentralized enforcement, and the functioning and success of Regulation 1/2003.

'… a worthwhile book …' Jacob Kornbeck, ÖZK – Austrian Competition Journal
