EU Competition Law Volume V - Abuse of Dominance under Article 102 TFEU

Overview

In 2009 there were high profi le cases involvingMicrosoft, Intel, GDF Suez, and numerous others, and at the end of 2008 the Commission issued new Guidance on enforcement priorities in applying Article 102 to abusive exclusionary conduct. Article102 represents in many respects probably the most rapidly evolving area of EU anti-trust law. This title gives a complete working guide to all new procedures as well as a detailed examination of Court jurisprudence in this complex and important area of law and gives an in-depth working guide to the application of Article 102 in practice, including the evolution in policy resulting from the important Commission Review and the economic approach to its application that is becoming the hallmark of recent Commission policy in this area.
