Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Serbian competition law started in 2005 with the adoption of its first modern Competition Act. National competition rules are generally harmonized with European Union law, especially following the adoption of the current Competition Act of 2009. However, several problems in competition law enforcement can be identified still, the importance of which increases as the effects of the current economic crisis spread. The paper focuses mainly on three problems specific to competition law enforcement in Serbia, a country with a weak economy. The first problem identified is that of a possibly privileged treatment of state-owned companies. The Competition Authority commenced so far only two proceedings against undertakings with state-owned capital. Furthermore, the Authority seems to accord insufficient attention to some industry sectors that are of special public interest, such as the production and trade of gas or oil, dominated by undertakings with state-owned capital. Sector-specific analyses undertaken by the Competition Authority did not result in any proceedings being initiated ex officio. The second problem identified in this paper is the reluctance of the Serbian Competition Authority to enforce competition rules in certain 'sensitive' situations. Instead of taking a pro-active approach, it sometimes seems that the Authority chooses to act as an 'advisor' of undertakings rather than an enforcer of competition law. Finally, the paper analyzes the activities of the Commission for State Aid Control, notorious for its perpetually positive approach towards institutions granting state aid.

Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of sports law in Serbia deals with the regulation of sports activity by both public authorities and private sports organizations. The growing internationalization of sports inevitably increases the weight of global regulation, yet each country maintains its own distinct regime of sports law and its own national and local sports organizations. Sports law at a national or organizational level thus gains a growing relevance in comparative law. The book describes and discusses both state-created rules and autonomous self-regulation regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural, and political aspects of sports activities. Self- regulation manifests itself in the form of by-laws, and encompasses organizational provisions, disciplinary rules, and rules of play. However, the trend towards more professionalism in sports and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sports have prompted an increasing reliance on legal rules adopted by public authorities. This form of regulation appears in a variety of legal areas, including criminal law, labour law, commercial law, tax law, competition law, and tort law, and may vary following a particular type or sector of sport. It is in this dual and overlapping context that such much-publicized aspects as doping, sponsoring and media, and responsibility for injuries are legally measured. This monograph fills a gap in the legal literature by giving academics, practitioners, sports organizations, and policy makers access to sports law at this specific level. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Serbia will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative sports law.

This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook brings together an international roster of competition law scholars and practitioners to address the issue of sanctions in competition law from all angles. Covering nineteen jurisdictions around the world, the book analyzes the theoretical foundations and practice of sanctioning competition law infringements and, most importantly, cartels. Contributors include a range of experts drawing on criminal law, company law, labor law, human rights, and law and economics, to determine what sanctions are available as a matter of positive law against corporations and individuals, including fines and other criminal, administrative, and civil law sanctions; whether law enforcers are using these sanctions effectively; and if new sanctions – including individual sanctions – should be introduced.
Download or read book Global Food Value Chains and Competition Law written by Ioannis Lianos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food industry is a notoriously complex economic sector that has not received the attention it deserves within legal scholarship. Production and distribution of food is complex because of its polycentric character (as it operates at the intersection of different public policies) and its dynamic evolution and transformation in the last few decades (from technological and governance perspectives). This volume introduces the global value chain approach as a useful way to analyse competition law and applies it to the operations of food chains and the challenges of their regulation. Together, the chapters not only provide a comprehensive mapping of a vast comparative field, but also shed light on the intricacies of the various policies and legal fields in operation. The book offers a conceptual and theoretical framework for competition authorities, companies and academics, and fills a massive gap in the competition policy literature dealing with global value chains and food.

A set of expert international contributors examine the operation and enforcement of competition law around the world in order to globalize discussions surrounding the foundational issues of this topic. In doing so, they not only reveal the range of approaches to competition law, but also identify certain basic economic concepts and types of anticompetitive conduct that are at the core of competition law.
Download or read book The International Dimension of EU Competition Law and Policy written by Anestis S. Papadopoulos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern competition law was first employed by countries over one hundred years ago in order to address issues relating to restrictions of trade at the national level. Recent international economic integration has weakened the distinction between the domestic and the international in several fields of economic activity, and consequently the laws which regulate such activity, competition law included. Several attempts to address the paradox of adopting national competition rules to address international issues have been made at the international, regional and (lately) bilateral levels. This book discusses the international dimension of EU competition law, and examines the position taken by the EU in four distinct categories of international agreements which are devoted to competition or include competition provisions. In particular, it analyses the EU's position with regard to bilateral enforcement cooperation agreements, bilateral free trade agreements, plurilateral-regional agreements and the long negotiations for the adoption of a multilateral competition regime.
