The Digest comprises 41 essays and is structured in two parts: Part I deals with competition rules in general (procedural rules, unilateral practices, mergers...), whereas Part II is dedicated to specific sectors (digital, energy & environment, healthcare & pharma…). The Digest contributes towards building a corpus of information on national doctrine and precedent in the EU, US and worldwide. It is to date the sole publication which allows lawyers, economists, in-house counsels, academics and government officials to draw effective comparisons between competition case law and policies in different jurisdictions.

The Competition Case Law Digest is an invaluable source for practitioners and academics, covering issues of key topical relevance, and combining expert synthesis and analysis with comprehensive citations to a wealth of EU and national cases.

The Concurrences e-Competitions Antitrust Case Law Bulletin has long been an indispensable source of knowledge on how competition law is actually applied in the EU Member States (and well beyond). After nearly a decade of prodigious reporting, it has occasionally become difficult to see the wood for the trees. The 2013 Competition Case Law Digest comes to the rescue: It groups together cases from the various jurisdictions thematically, covering all areas of competition law and sectors, and in the best comparative law tradition teases out the similarities and differences. And the Digest does much more than that. In shining the spotlight on how the application of European competition law has developed in the Member States, the commentary by distinguished academics and practitioners gives valuable insights into how Regulation (EC) 1/2003 should develop in the future. A ’must purchase’ recommendation for all law libraries, law firms, and anybody interested in the actual practice of European competition law.

If anyone could dream books into existence, I would be the author of this Digest instead of purchasing it. Competition law is increasingly about what happens in the Member States. This is one precious tool in a professional’s daily life: a lot of useful information on EU, national and US case law, in a concise, fastidious and user-friendly format.

The Competition Case Law Digest is a tremendously useful tool for practitioners all over Europe (and beyond). This guided tour through the diversity of the European antitrust landscape highlights convergence and divergences between jurisdictions in a unique way. By facilitating access to national case law and practice across borders, it provides invaluable food for thought on the interpretation of competition law concepts and also constitutes a very rich source of inspiration for crafting arguments and exploring the boundaries of the law.

Congratulations to everyone involved in producing this superb collection of materials. This is the response to Regulation 1/2003 and the decentralization of the enforcement of competition law that has been needed: it takes just a few minutes of reviewing the contents of the 2013 Competition Case Law Digest to appreciate that it is an invaluable – indeed indispensable – guide to what is happening across the 28 Member States. I know that I will be referring to it regularly.

This insightful and thought-provoking compendium will no doubt prove to be an invaluable research and reference tool for scholars and practitioners alike. Despite the diversity and complexity of substantive and procedural issues addressed, including from a comparative law perspective, the presentation is coherent, systematic and user-friendly throughout.

This Digest is the most comprehensive, up to date and reliable source of information on antitrust in the EU - at national and European level.

This volume is a researcher’s heaven. It should be the source of first resort for considering the relationship between EU competition law and the competition laws of the Member States. Organized according to the most important substantive and procedural issues and by principal sectors, the book is a journey through the convergences and divergences of the competition laws of the jurisdictions, with much learned perspective and wise analysis.

In each Digest, astute and experienced authors synthesize a vast array of case practice. The rich collection thus enables researchers and practitioners to keep abreast with the most salient developments and to appreciate how they fit, comfortably or otherwise, together.

This book fills a gap opened 10 years ago with the decentralisation of competition enforcement. It gives handy access to a goldmine of national cases. A must consult for any thorough research on EU competition law.

This Digest is a unique product for those who want to have a comprehensive and updated view on the true application of antitrust and merger cases both at EU and national level. It is based on the e-Competitions data base compiled since the so-called modernisation of 2004. The Digest provides a unique one-stop access to a synthetic and synoptic approach of these EU and national cases, allowing to taste the degree of convergence between the EU and the national levels. Although State aid covers a few pages only out of the 600 pages (whilst State aid cases are more numerous than antitrust cases before national courts!), the compendium and the analysis of antitrust and merger cases are impressive. A must in every competition law library. The 2014 edition will certainly cover the entire competition law cases!

e-Competitions and its related Competition Case Law Digest is a ground-breaking initiative, combining reports of cases before the European Commission and Courts and before the national enforcement authorities and courts throughout Europe. The results are interesting and important, insofar as they show how the rules are used in different ways in different contexts. Given the way that commercial practices may be judged in many jurisdictions, it is really useful to have a resource like this, whether in preparing your defence, or looking for new ideas to help open up markets.

The fifth edition of this compendium of antitrust case law contains a wealth of updated information on competition in the EU and other jurisdictions. This makes it essential reading for both practitioners and scholars working in this area.

This book is the first real digest of essays on EU and mostly national case law in the area of competition law. As such, it is the Bible in terms of doing research on how a specific competition law issue has been treated by the courts in Europe. Any practitioner or academic that wants to do research on a specific competition law topic must start from this digest. This is a wonderful source of case notes and materials.
