European Competition Law Annual 2007: A Reformed Approach to Article 82 EC

This is the 12th annual in a series of workshops on EU competition law and policy produced by the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University Institute in Florence. The workshop participants included senior enforcement officials and policy makers from the European Commission, national competition authorities of certain EU Member States and the US's Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, renowned international academics, legal practitioners, and professional economists. In an intense intimate environment, this group of experts debated a number of legal and economic issues structured according to three broad lines of discussion: 1) comparisons of the concept of monopolization under Section 2 of the Sherman Act with that of abuse of dominance under Article 82 EC; 2) a reformed approach to exclusionary unilateral conduct; and 3) exploitative unilateral conduct and related remedies. This book will be of interest to lawyers, economists, judges, and enforcement officials.
