European Commission - DG COMP (Brussels)
Head of Unit

Philippe Chauve is the head of unit at the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission. The Task Force is working on regulatory and antitrust issues in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (food, home care, personal care) and agricultural inputs (fertilisers, pesticides etc) in Europe. Recently the task-force concluded a landmark case concerning practices of the world largest beer maker AB InBev preventing trade between EU member states. Philippe Chauve has extensive experience in antitrust enforcement and merger procedures. Before heading the Task Force he was enforcing competition rules in the energy sector, where he carried out a sector inquiry and many antitrust and merger investigations and implemented unprecedented remedies (such as the first large scale divestiture of assets in European Antitrust History –sales power plants and networks). In earlier jobs he also negotiated trade agreements for goods and services in the WTO and between the EU and its trading partners.
