Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course shall give an overview of procedural aspects or European Competition law. While introducing and always reflecting the material rules of the cartel prohibition (Art 101 TFEU) and the prohibition to abuse a dominant position (Art 102 TFEU), students shall be introduced to the essentials of both public and private competition law enforcement practice. To that end, we shall discuss issues such as the EU Commissions enforcement powers under Reg 1/2003, such as investigative powers like dawn-raids as well an enforcement tool such as fines, commitments and adjacent policies such as settlements, leniency etc. Judicial review in competition law will be another major part of the course, touching upon issues such as due process and rights of defence. Ultimately, the damage directive and following national legislation will be covered.
Topics will be presented on the basis of legislative documents as well as relevant soft law instruments as well as case law.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation in the discussion in class as well as a presentation on aspects of the topics of the course will be the basis to assess individual performances in the course. Students are invited to introduce knowledge of national competition law systems in the discussion.
