EU Competition Law Volume VIII, European Competition Law and Fundamental Rights

Overview

Due to the imminent accession by the European Union to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, it has become ever-more important to ensure that both the procedures, as well as the substantive application of European competition law by the European Commission and the EU Courts, are consistent with the protection of fundamental rights set out therein.  This book will provide a unique insight into the possible main friction points between European competition law enforcement and the protection of fundamental rights, as well as an in-depth analysis of the key challenges lying ahead, in light of the case law of the EU Courts and of the European Court of Human Rights.
