Download or read book Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe written by Kai Hüschelrath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, the optimal enforcement of EU competition law has become a major concern. This book contains a unique collection of articles by lawyers and economists on current issues in the public and private enforcement of competition law. Public enforcement has been strengthened in numerous ways – for example, through the introduction of a leniency programme and a substantial increase in fines for competition law violations. At the same time the EU Commission has been promoting private enforcement – for example, by developing a legal framework that grants victims of EU antitrust law infringements access to compensation. The contributions in this book address a range of topics in the area of competition law enforcement, including the role of fines and leniency programmes in public enforcement; access to evidence and the quantification of damages in private enforcement; and the interaction between public and private enforcement of competition law in Europe.

Download or read book Criminalization of Competition Law Enforcement written by K. J. Cseres and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book brings together contributions from prominent scholars and practitioners to the ongoing debate on the criminalization of competition law enforcement. Recognizing that existing remedies and sanctions may be insufficient to deter breaches of competition law, several EU Member States have followed the US example and introduced pecuniary penalties for executives, professional disqualification orders, and even jail sentences. Addressing issues such as unsolved legal puzzles, standard of proof, leniency programs and internal cartel stability, this book is a marker for future policy debate. With perspectives from an international cast of contributors, Criminalization of Competition Law Enforcement will be of great interest to academics and policy makers as well as students and practitioners in law.

Download or read book Competition law enforcement in digital markets e Book written by FALCE VALERIA and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key structuring elements of today’s digital econ-omy are digital markets and services (i.e., the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act) leading to a new season in the area of innovation policies. It is the season of the centralization of governance and enforcement powers in the hands of the European Commission, through which the European Union sets direction and speed. The direction looks forward to empowering the protagonists of the digital ecosystem and properly running the markets. The keywords of the new policies are indeed fairness, openness, and non-discrimination. The speed is the one recognized by innovation: from rigid and static obligations and prohibitions, the European commission proposed flexible and dynamic guidance, responding to market developments and requests from Member States, which recommend proposals for modernization, revision and introduction of new rules.

Download or read book Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe written by Rafael Amaro and published by Bruylant. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to key legal provisions and case-law related to the procedural and substantive issues that may arise in damages litigation for breach of anti-competitive agreements and abuses of a dominant position prohibitions. For the past decade, academic publications have focused on the proposal for a Directive on damages actions, then the Directive 2014/104/EU of 26 November 2014 itself, and finally the transposition texts. However, this understandable interest should not lead to overlook the fact that the Directive has been applied very little until now. This is mainly due to its application ratione temporis. In addition to the fact that Member States only transposed the Directive between the end of 2016 and 2018, Article 22 of the Directive provides that the substantive rules contained in the Directive cannot be applied to infringements subsequent to the national laws transposing them, while the procedural rules of the Directive apply to proceedings commenced on or after 26 December 2014. Thus, it is prior domestic law that continues to govern the vast majority of cases before national courts in the “Pre-Directive era.” In addition, a number of issues of the utmost importance have not been addressed by the Directive, such as questions of international jurisdiction or the quantification of “interests.” For these reasons, it seemed necessary not to limit this book to commenting on the Directive, important as it is, but to go beyond it. Directed by Rafael Amaro, this book contains the contributions from leading academics, attorneys, jurists and economists in the field of the private enforcement of competition law. It is composed of thematic chapters dealing with matters such as applicable law in international litigation, limitation, quantification of damages, from both a European Union and a national perspective, as well as national chapters presenting the state of play in several European States.

Download or read book Enforcement Direction of Competition Law written by Dong-won Suh and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act (hereinafter MRFTA: Korea's competition law), which was enacted in 1980, has been introduced and enforced to achieve more mature market economy. In order to normalize distorted market functions arising from the government-led economic growth, the activities such as abusive behavior of market dominance, cartel, anti-competitive M&A and unfair trade practices were prohibited under the law. However, since the mid 1980s, due to rising problems of excessive concentration of economic power and influence from large business conglomerates, or Chaebols, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (hereinafter KFTC: Korean government agency for enforcement of the competition law) has amended the MRFTA for many times, imposing restrictions on shareholdings and transaction practices, such as prohibition of cross shareholdings and debt-guarantee between affiliates, restriction of total amount of shareholdings in other domestic companies, and prohibition of undue intra-group transactions. In addition, the KFTC enacted the Fair Subcontract Transactions Act for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) not to face undue disadvantages in subcontract transactions, which can often arise from asymmetric negotiation powers between SMEs and large companies. Such regulations against large companies are causing a lot of criticisms these days as every aspect of the Korean economy has become more and more exposed to international competition with acceleration of globalization. Therefore, by getting various ideas from a wide range of opinion groups since early 2003, the government established the 3-year market reform roadmap which aims at facilitating market functions through regulatory reform as well as reinforcement of cartel regulation and prohibition of unfair trade practices. In addition, for large business conglomerates, the roadmap is designed to enhance transparency in business management and improve corporate governance, while streamlining previous regulations on them. By evaluating the performance of the improvement of corporate governance, the government will review whether to abolish or ease the regulations against large companies after 3 years of implementation of the roadmap. This direction was reflected on the amended MRFTA in late 2004.

Download or read book Experimentalist Competition Law and the Regulation of Markets written by Yane Svetiev and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the emergence of experimentalist governance in the implementation of EU competition law as a response to uncertainty and the limits of hierarchical enforcement in an increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous economic environment. It contributes to ongoing debates about the current state of EU competition law and provides an innovative account of emergent enforcement trends and its future direction. It also argues that an experimentalist evolution of competition law and market regulation attenuates concerns about the competitive strictures of EU law on national economic and regulatory institutions. Through its focus on experimentalist governance, the book provides guidance on completing experimentalist infrastructures for market regulation, as well as on the role of courts in triggering and sustaining experimentalist solutions. As such, it offers a novel perspective on implementing competition law in the EU and beyond.

Download or read book The Atlantic Divide in Antitrust written by Daniel J. Gifford and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and the European Union operate the world’s two most powerful systems of competition law and policy, whose enforcement and judicial institutions employ similar concepts and legal language. Yet the two regimes sometimes reach very different results on significant antitrust issues. In The Atlantic Divide in Antitrust, Daniel Gifford and Robert Kudrle show that a combination of differences in social values, political institutions, and legal precedent inhibit close convergence. The book explores the main contested areas of contemporary antitrust: mergers, price discrimination, predatory pricing, exclusive supply, conditional rebating, intellectual property, and Schumpeterian competition. The authors explore how the prevailing antitrust analyses differ in the EU and the U.S., the policy ramifications of these differences, and how the analyses used by the enforcement authorities or the courts in each of these several areas relate to each other. Several themes run through the substantive areas treated in the book: pricing incentives and constraints, welfare effects, and whether competition tends to be viewed as an efficiency generating process or as rivalry. The notorious Microsoft case offers a useful lens to examine copyright, patents, and trade secrets, and the authors take the opportunity to contemplate competition policy in dynamic, innovative industries more broadly. For the EU, competition policy has also functioned as a mechanism to bond national markets together in the EU structure; the USA, federal from the beginning, did not require this instrumental aspect in its antitrust doctrines. The Atlantic Divide concludes with forecasts and suggestions about how greater compatibility, if not convergence, might ultimately be attained.
