First sentence: The aim of the conference in this topic is to examine the implications for the Member States (including the new Member States whose date of accession to the Union will coincide with the commencement of the new regime,) of the reforms in competition law enforcement to be brought about by Regulation 1/2003 ("the Regulation"); to compare the ways in which it will be implemented in each jurisdiction and to identify any legal, constitutional and administrative difficulties which the new regime may pose for both national law and for the uniform and efficient application of competition rules in Community law.
Description: "EIDE (the International Federation for European Law) brings together National Associations for European Law and their members and serves as a forum for the study, development, critical appraisal and renewal of European law." "Written for the XXI FIDE Congress taking place in Dublin in June 2004, this book is a wide-ranging and comprehensive international survey. It examines how 25 EU members (both current and Accession States) are adapting their domestic anti-trust laws in preparation for the modernisation and decentralisation of EU anti-trust enforcement brought about by Regulation 1/2003, in force from 1 May 2004. Each country's report was submitted by a national expert, and sets out in detail how States are meeting the challenge of granting their national courts and competition enforcement agencies full powers to apply Articles 81 and 82 of the EU Treaty. The national reports also point to challenges and difficulties that lie ahead for harmonious operation of the new decentralised regime."--BOOK JACKET.
