Contents
This course offers students already acquainted with the basic principles of European competition law the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of this subject, and to acquire thorough knowledge of the of the core concepts of European competition law and policy.
In addition to a thorough analysis of the competition rules addressed to undertakings (Article 101 TFEU, Article 102 TFEU, Regulation 139/2004), attention is also devoted to procedure, as laid down in Regulation 1/2003. This allows us to deal with both the centralised application by the European Commission and the decentralised application of the Treaty rules by national courts and national competition authorities.
The last part of the course deals with the competition rules addressed to Member States: Article 106 TFEU (public undertakings and liberalisation), the useful effect doctrine (Article 4 (3) TEU in conjunction with Article 101 TFEU or Article 1-2 TFEU) and Artt. 107-109 TFEU (state aid).
