Antitrust between EU law and national law / Antitrust fra diritto nazionale e diritto dell'Unione Europea

This work contains the papers of the Tenth Conference on "Antitrust between EU
Law and national law", held in Treviso on May 17 and 18 , 2012 under the
patronage of the European Lawyers Union - Union des Avocats Europeens (UAE),
the Associazione Italiana per la Tutela della Concorrenza - the Italian
section of the Ligue Internationale du Droit de la Concurrence (LIDC)-, the
Associazione Italiana Giuristi di Impresa (AIGI), the European Company Lawyers
Association (ECLA), and the Associazione Antitrust Italiana (AAI). Some of the
papers have been extensively reviewed and updated by the authors prior to
publication.
Contributions contained in this volume are the result of an in-depth analysis
and study of the most salient issues arising from the application of antitrust
rules, carried out by experienced and high-ranking professionals, company
lawyers, academics and EU/national institutional representatives who attended
the Conference. They deal with extremely topical issues, lying at the heart of
current antitrust debate. Some of the most contemporary topics include those
relative to the large-scale distribution sector and the control of
concentrations at both national and European level. Ample consideration is
also given to salient antitrust issues encountered in undertakings' day-to-day
business life, as well as to the future of antitrust in the global economy,
also in the light of the new powers recently attributed to the Italian
Antitrust Authority to challenge administrative acts. This volume also
includes some precious insights on the assessment and quantification of
damages in antitrust infringements, from both an economic and legal
perspective, as well as reflections on the role of judges in the application
of antitrust law, also following the principles set forth by the European
Court of Human Rights in the well-known Menarini case.
