EU Antitrust Procedure NEW 6TH edition Nicholas Khan

January 2012 £275 / €399 ISBN: 978-1-847-03909-5

A recognised reference work in its field, EU Antitrust Procedure provides a thorough yet concise explanation of how the European Commission investigates infringements of EU competition law.

It deals with topics such as the Commission’s investigative powers, procedural rights of the parties concerned, the method for setting fines and judicial review against Commission decisions, as well as the relationship between the enforcement of EU competition law by the Commission and by national courts and competition authorities.

The previous edition explained the fundamental changes made to the EU competition law regime by Regulation 1/2003 and this new edition analyses how these rules have since been applied in practice and the further developments that have emerged, including the implications of over 200 judgments in the field from the European Court of Justice and the General Court since the previous edition.

• Adopts a practitioner-focused approach, providing clear guidance on the procedures to follow • Considers the latest developments in Commission practice, such as the Settlement Notice, the acceptance of commitments, the Best Practices guidance and the newly-enhanced role of the Hearing Officer • Explains how the enforcement procedures of the Commission and those of national competition authorities are now interacting • Shows how the Commission’s 2006 Guidelines on Fines and Leniency Notice are being applied in practice • Examines court judgments at both EU and national levels

New to this edition: • Extensive analysis of the implications for the Commission’s competition procedures of fundamental rights under the ECHR and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, taking account of the ECtHR’s latest judgments, such as Jussila, Canal Plus and Menarini Dignostics • Updated guidance on legal professional privilege after Akzo Nobel • Explanation of the latest developments in the Commission’s practice in accepting commitments and settlements in cartel cases • Extensive commentary on how the Commission’s 2006 Guidelines on Fines and Leniency Notice are being applied in practice, including analysis of the first judgments from the General Court on the 2006 Guidelines in International Removals and Sodium Chlorate
