Title: European competition law
Description: 'This book is unique. It does not contain any text from the authors themselves, but the story of EU competition law is entirely told through a smart selection of quotes from the Commission and EU courts. This approach is extremely valuable. The article by article categorization and the extensive index ensure that influential cases are found quickly and easily. This book should be on the desk of every competition authority official and practitioner.'--Alexander Italianer, Director-General for Competition, European Commission, Belgium. 'A remarkable work; for each article of the relevant legislation - covering not only the core competition provisions but also State aid and the Charter on Fundamental Rights - the editors have extracted relevant passages from the mass of EU jurisprudence and then presented them in a structured fashion that is easy to navigate. This book will provide an invaluable tool for the busy practitioner - and for judges too.'--Sir Peter Roth, President, UK.
