Abstract

This book is intended to serve as a first acquaintance with competition law.

Therefore, a broad range of examples have been provided for the three main subjects—the prohibition of cartels, the prohibition of the abuse of a position of dominance and the supervision of concentrations (ie mergers and acquisitions). Those examples are drawn from European and UK practice. This greatly enhances the
