A Guide to United Kingdom and European Union Competition Policy

This is the first book on competition policy to be written for businesspeople. It analyses the treatment of business practices and mergers, summarises the intellectual, legal, institutional and procedural frameworks within which competition policy operates, and assesses its impact. It enables the reader to identify the circumstances likely to determine the authorities' ruling and refers him to those cases which are most relevant to his concern. Students of law, economics, and public administration will find it a valuable introduction to the subject.
