The Role of National Competition Authorities and Courts in Sanctioning Anti Competitive Agreements under the Council Regulation (EC) No. 1/2013

Summary/Abstract: Council Regulation (EC) No. 1/2003 on the implementation of the competition rules laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (current Articles 101 and 102 of TFEU) was created with the aim of ensuring a more efficient application of European competition rules for the benefit of consumers and economic enterprises and, at the same time, to reduce the burden effect of the administrative process for businesses operating in the European Union area. At the same time, this Regulation sought to increase the role played by the national competition authorities and the national courts in the application of EU competition law, while guaranteeing its effective and uniform application. These issues will be briefly analysed in this study.
