The conference will discuss the latest and most significant developments, with a particular focus on the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and recent decisions from the European Commission on:
- Article 101 TFEU (former Article 81 EC), inter alia, the concept of concerted practice (e.g. T-Mobile), the assessment of a restriction by object (e.g. GSK), as well as related issues, such as the imputability of infringements within groups of undertakings (e.g. AKZO Nobel);
- Article 102 TFEU (former Article 82 EC), focusing on predatory pricing (e.g. France Télécom), rebate schemes, standard settings;
- Mergers, including the issue of the non-contractual liability of the Community on account of the illegality found (e.g. Schneider).
The conference will also analyse policy developments under Article 101, 102 TFEU and mergers, including the new block exemption regime, enforcement priorities in relation to abusive exclusionary conduct, and the guidelines on non-horizontal mergers, alongside an assessment of the role of the European Commission as amicus curiae and the role of the Hearing Officer.
