Coherence in EU Competition
نویسنده
چکیده
EU competition law plays a central role in the process of European integration and has constantly been developing at a different pace. The dynamics of change in EU competition law have been quickened by the introduction of Regulation 1/2003 that has enabled a decentralised enforcement system of EU antitrust where NCAs and national courts have been empowered to apply articles 81 and 82 EC (now 101 and 102 TFEU). Along with decentralisation, other recent developments, such as the emerging embracement of a more economic-based approach to antitrust since the late 1990s, have entailed risk to the coherence of EU competition law.
