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 606 $aAntitrust law$zEuropean Union countries 615 0$aAntitrust law 676 $a343.240721 700 $aTownley$b Christopher$01696783 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818236603321 996 $aArticle 81 EC and public policy$94077000 997 $aUNINA
