| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
EU competition law plays today a central role in society and in
the everyday life of many companies and legal and economic
practitioners. The aim of this course is to conduct a deepened
examination of the legal rules of EU Competition Law taking into
account the underlying economic principles and wider policy issues.
Students will upon completion of the course have sufficient
understanding of the subject to practice and research in the field.
The course concentrates on the foundations for the system of rules,
consisting of Articles 101 and 102 of the EU Treaty and the Merger
Regulation, which together are enforced in order to ensure that
‘effective competition’ prevails in EU markets. These legal sources
regulate much business activity using a complex balancing test to
determine whether such activity is lawful competition or unlawful
anti-competitive conduct.
The industrial economic theories crucial for understanding the
reasoning behind competition law will be analyzed and discussed, in
particular the theories which are used to change the content of the
current legal doctrine. Thus, the general industrial economy
theories on the sources of market power, the definition of the
relevant market, horizontal agreements and mergers, predation and
abuse of dominance will be scrutinized.
There will be lectures, where students are expected to participate
actively, and case-based teaching.
