About this book
Over the past fifteen years, the optimal enforcement of EU competition law has become a major concern. This book contains a unique collection of articles by lawyers and economists on current issues in the public and private enforcement of competition law. Public enforcement has been strengthened in numerous ways – for example, through the introduction of a leniency programme and a substantial increase in fines for competition law violations. At the same time the EU Commission has been promoting private enforcement – for example, by developing a legal framework that grants victims of EU antitrust law infringements access to compensation.
The contributions in this book address a range of topics in the area of competition law enforcement, including the role of fines and leniency programmes in public enforcement; access to evidence and the quantification of damages in private enforcement; and the interaction between public and private enforcement of competition law in Europe.
Reviews
“The book ‘Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe: Legal and Economic Perspectives’ is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to the discussion on the further development of private competition law enforcement in Europe.” (Dušan V. Popović, European Business Organization Law Review, Vol. 16, 2015)
