Produktdetaljer
Biographical note
Edited by Pier Luigi Parcu, Part-time Professor, European University Institute and Chairman of Studio Economico, Italy, Giorgio Monti, Professor of Competition Law, Tilburg University, the Netherlands and Part-time Professor, European University Institute, Italy and Marco Botta, Part-time Professor, European University Institute, Italy<i>‘An analysis of emerging trends in the application of abuse of dominance provisions is an ambitious endeavour, which the authors of this volume have remarkably achieved. Among the trends identified are an increased focus by courts on the intention to harm competition, new types of abuses and decentralization. These trends shape the authors’ analysis of the divergent manners in which Article 102 (and/or national equivalents) are interpreted and applied both at EU and national levels. Including a thorough study of recent national cases, this book’s comparative approach will provide relevant insight to the entire competition law world. I strongly endorse this book and congratulate the authors on their successful contributions.’</i>

<i>‘With its cross-border perspective and wealth of research into the practical applications of ‘abuse of dominance’ provisions this book will prove to be of immense value to practitioners, academics and policy makers alike. Commercial lawyers will find it especially useful.’</i>
- The Barrister,
Employing a range of case studies, this illuminating book adds a cross-country perspective to the ongoing debate surrounding the scope of application of Article 102 of the TFEU; a debate largely caused by its ambiguous wording. Besides analyzing the case law of the EU Courts and EU Commission that determine what conduct falls in the 'abuse' box, a number of chapters examine the active contribution of national courts and competition authorities in the ongoing process of shaping the meaning of this legal provision.
Astute and discerning, this book will appeal to academics and researchers in the areas of EU competition law and policy. Its practical examples will also prove beneficial to practitioners and national competition authorities.
