Common Market Law of Competition

"Common Market Law of Competition" appears at a time when practitioners are increasingly aware that EC competition law is crucial in commercial relations. It covers all aspects of competition law in the Community. Special attention has been given to the topical or delicate issues that lawyers are called to deal with, such as vertical agreements, mergers or joint ventures. New law developments considered include such cases as the judgement of the Court of First Instance in the Polypropylene case, that of the European Court of Justice in the appeal in the "Woodpulp" case and the Commission decision in the Gillette case, and new legislation in the field of insurance, intellectual property and transport as well as the new notice on cooperation between the commission and national courts.
