EU Anititrust Procedure explains how the European Commission investigates infringements of EC Competition law. Since the first edition, published in 1981, it has become established as the recognised reference work in this field.
It deals with topics such as the Commission’s investigative powers, procedural rights of the parties concerned, the method for setting fines and judicial review against Commission decisions, as well as the relationship between the enforcement of EC Competition law by the Commission and by national courts and competition authorities.
This edition examines how the new competition law regime introduced in 2004 has bedded down in practice and considers the implications of over 200 judgments in the field from the European Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance since the previous edition.
