Robert Schuman Centre Annual on European Competition Law 1996

The enforcement of competition laws in the European Union 'federal' context raises a number of complex legal problems. In April of 1996, The Robert Schuman Centre at the European University Institute in Florence hosted a forum For The exchange of ideas toward possible solutions. This volume consists of the collected written works and edited transcripts that emerged from that Conference, focusing on antitrust rules in a federal context. Thirty-four high level officials from major competition enforcement authorities throughout the world, judges with expertise in competition law, renowned scholars, and private practitioners specialising in competition issues all participated in the workshop. They addressed such topics as: The need for a greater multiplicity of antitrust enforcers in the European Union; the need for decentralisation of enforcement of Article 85; And The need for horizontal cooperation among Member state competition authorities and better cooperation between the Commission And The Member States. The high-level participant/authors, The complexity of the issues, And The currency of this work all make it essential reading for enforcement authorities, private practitioners specialising in competition law, and other antitrust experts working in jurisdictions with dual enforcement systems.Ehlermann, Claus Dieter is the author of 'Robert Schuman Centre Annual on European Competition Law 1996' with ISBN 9789041104632 and ISBN 9041104631.
