SynthesisFOREWORD
Nicolas Charbit (The Editor Concurrences Journal)
The third edition of the Concurrences Journal conference ’New Frontiers of Antitrust’ was attended by 333 people at the French Assemblée Nationale on 10 Feb. 2012. We are most thankful to the conference Steering Committee headed by Frederic Jenny and Laurence Idot. Their choice for the four panels was carefully thought out to achieve just the right mix of topical subjects, political issues and scholarship. In addition to the keynote speech delivered by EU Commissioner Joquin Almunia, the 18 speakers came from 5 jurisdictions. Enforcers, attorneys, in-house counsels and academics, they gave everybody present much food for thought. The conference proceedings will be published in both online and print versions in mid-2012. We are also thankful to the panel sponsors and the social event sponsors who helped make this event such a success from the point of view of both scholarship and networking. We look forward to welcoming you to the 4th New Frontiers of Antitrust conference in February 2013 in Paris. Meanwhile, we are delighted to share with you some of the key features of the 2012 conference. Conference
