Book Description
This well-known book, prized since 2007 by practitioners in EU competition law for its easy-tofind extracts sorted by subject, is now in its second and hugely expanded edition, covering all decisions of the Court of Justice and the General Court of the European Union on competition law through the end of 2016. This new edition comprising of forty-seven chapters follows the same easy-to-use format as the earlier volume and covers all the case law on the substantive and procedural aspects of the EU treaty rules and legislation on antitrust and mergers. To improve the accessibility of the case law, this book is structured as follows: – Hundreds of headings and subheadings present virtually every point from which a researcher is likely to start. – Each subject heading starts with extracts having a more general meaning followed by extracts relating to specific points or situations. – Extracts are accompanied by cross references where appropriate. – Extracts are drawn from all EC competition case law encompassing every judgment and order in the ‘Reports of Cases before the Court of Justice and the General Court’ (‘Summary of the Judgment’) until 2017. Although it is primarily of value to barristers, solicitors, in-house lawyers of companies and associations of companies, officials of national competition authorities, and other active practitioners in EU competition law, the book will also be welcomed by scholars and others who need to obtain in a minimum of time an overview of what the European courts have actually stated about a specific point (including detailed references) in the field.

Information Exchange Between Competitors in EU Competition Law
Author: Martin Gassler
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403531843
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Information Exchange Between Competitors in EU Competition Law Martin Gassler Competing firms often exchange information in order to make more informed market decisions which can help to overcome market inefficiencies. However, an abundance of legal and economic research as well as case law has shown that information exchange may also enable firms to engage in collusion more readily and sustain it longer. This book is the first to concentrate on this challenging topic of EU competition law in such depth. It focuses on ‘pure’ information exchanges – exchanges that are not ancillary to a wider pro-competitive or anticompetitive conduct – and thoroughly explains the characteristics of such information exchanges, their pro-competitive and anticompetitive effects and discusses all the relevant legal aspects for their assessment. The author provides a robust analytical framework for assessing information exchanges under Article 101 TFEU, focusing on the risk of collusive outcomes and what types of information exchange are particularly harmful. With detailed attention to the leading cases on information exchange, the analysis examines the most important aspects for assessing information exchange between competitors, in particular: the concept of a concerted practice; the concepts of a restriction by object and effect, including their similarities and differences; the importance of evidentiary issues; the issue of signalling via advance public announcements; factors that facilitate collusion; efficiencies of information exchange, including market transparency; the legal challenges of tackling mere parallel conduct; facilitative practices in the Commission Guidelines, including the Horizontal Cooperation Guidelines; and safe harbours for certain types of information exchange. The book offers clear guidance on how to identify and thus distinguish information exchange that restricts competition by its object and information exchange that restricts competition (only) by its effects. It offers practical solutions to some of the perceived issues when assessing information exchanges. With its wealth of analysis not available from other sources, this concise yet comprehensive review of a much-debated topic in competition law offers clear guidance for practitioners in assessing the issues surrounding information exchange. The book will also be welcomed by competition law academics, competition lawyers and competition authority officials throughout Europe.
