description: May 2004 marked the beginning of "modernized" methods of enforcement of EC competition rules, especially those regarding Article 81(1), Article 81(3) and the Merger Regulation. The authors, members of a leading firm in European Community multinational competition law, draw on their experience as they examine the repercussions of these changes as well as analyze competition rules as developed by the Commission, the Court of Fist Instance and the Court of Justice. In doing so they concentrate on the rules' actual impact on business, with topics such as an introduction to the relevant institutions and enforcement entities, basic principles, vertical agreements, horizontal agreements (cartels and cooperation agreements), intellectual property, mergers, acquisitions and certain joint ventures, abuse of a dominant position, state involvement, procedure, private enforcement, and information on special sectors such as the Internet, sport, and banking. The authors include a table of cases and a general index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
