Book abstract: This book aims to provide an overview of economic theory as applied to European competition law. One of the motivating forces of the common market is the economic advantages that are expected to flow from its completion. However, the abolition of national governmental restrictions on trade would deliver few benefits if, in their place, anti-competitive practices became rife. Hence the need for competition rules, some of the most important of which are set out in Articles 85 and 86 of the EC Treaty. European competition policy lies at the heart of the Single European Market programme, so it is unsurprising that the application of economic principles in both submissions to the Commission and in the Commission's own decisions is playing an increasingly important role in the decision-making process. |
