The Commission, and recently the Court of First Instance have said that the sole objective of Article 81 EC is consumer welfare. Many competition lawyers and economists support this view. Writing in a crisp, plain style, Townley demonstrates that public policy considerations are still relevant in that provision. He also examines how and where they are currently considered and then suggests why, how and where this might be changed. The book explains how some of the most complex competition law cases can be understood Antitrust lawEuropean Union countriesAntitrust law343.240721Townley Christopher1696783UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910818236603321Article 81 EC and public policy4077000UNINA
