Competition law is essential for any public/private player, whether it is involved in production, distribution or services, and whether it operates on national or Community territory.
Competition law is a special law whose rules aim to preserve the existence of free competition between companies on the market. This is why practices that could undermine it (anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position) are sanctioned.
This book presents in a simple manner the rules that govern the functioning of the market. These rules pursue two objectives whose complementarity is often discussed:
– The one of protecting the free play of competition and that of safeguarding the particular interests of competitors.
– The developments will be structured around these two objectives.
