Antitrust: European Competition Network (ECN) welcomes European Commission’s Guidelines on abusive exclusionary conduct by dominant undertakings
The European Competition Network (ECN) welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to adopt guidelines on the application of Article 102 TFEU to abusive exclusionary conduct by dominant undertakings. The Netherlands Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM) works together with other European competition authorities within the ECN. The ECN considers the draft Guidelines to be an important step in the direction of a workable effects-based approach to Article 102 TFEU, which is key to ensuring meaningful and effective enforcement.
European Competition Network
The national competition authorities in all EU Member States and the European Commission cooperate with each other through the ECN. The objective of the ECN is to build an effective legal framework to enforce EC competition law against companies that engage in cross-border business practices that restrict competition and are harmful to consumers.
