Description

Product Description This book discusses the role of public policy in Article 81 of the EC Treaty. The Commission, and recently the Court of First Instance have said that the sole objective of Article 81 EC is consumer welfare. Many competition lawyers and economists support this view. Writing in a crisp, plain style, Townley demonstrates that public policy considerations are still relevant in that provision. He also examines how and where they are currently considered and then suggests why, how and where this might be changed. The book explains how some of the most complex competition law cases can be understood and offers a framework for those fighting or deciding such cases in the future. As such, it will be of interest to European competition lawyers, both academics and practitioners (furnishing them with a framework for hard cases), as well as students, seeking a deeper understanding of how the European competition rules work and how they interact both with European Union and Member State public policy goals. It will also help competition economists by revealing the mechanisms through which public policy considerations impact upon the consumer welfare test in European law. Review "A un moment où l'économie européenne est secouée par une crise qui amène certains à remettre en discussion ses fondements mêmes, C. Townley prend le risque de nous faire replonger dans le plus classique des débats concernant le droit de la concurrence... quelles sont les valeurs qui justifient l'existence même d'un droit de la concurrence, valeurs que ce droit devrait contribuer à protéger et à mettre en oeuvre ? Il s'agit d'une question à la fois fondamentale et particulièrement actuelle, dans la mesure où c'est précisément dans les moments de crise que la robustesse d'un système antitrust est mise à l'épreuve.L'auteur traite cette question avec une rigueur méthodologique évidente dès les premières pages. L'ouvrage est soutenu par une charpente solide, d'autant plus efficace qu'elle est très clairement indiquée à chaque étape du raisonnement juridique. Celui-ci conduit le lecteur vers une conclusion, qui, si elle n'est pas inédite, est certainement loin de faire l'unanimité la concurrence ne se résout pas à une équation économique...Le travail de C. Townley a le grand mérite de mettre en exergue les spécificités du droit européen de la concurrence qui, comme la Cour de justice l'a répété dans sa jurisprudence, a une portée très large. En effet, le régime de concurrence européen a toujours été un instrument pour la réalisation d'objectifs qui ne sont pas seulement économiques. La rigueur de l'analyse mène l'auteur à identifier très précisément les failles d'un système qui semble être moins mûr et moins développé que certains prétendent. Cette rigueur dans la recherche des aspects du système qui peuvent être améliorés permet au livre de s'appuyer sur une pars destruens très convaincante. Les conséquences de cette rigueur sur la pars construens du raisonnement aboutissent cependant à une conclusion qu'il sera très difficile de mettre concrètement en oeuvre, ce que l'auteur lui-même reconnaît d'ailleurs à plusieurs reprises. La mise en balance d'objectifs publics est par sa nature même une opération non seulement très délicate à effectuer, mais surtout très ancrée dans chaque cas d'espèce. La rédaction de lignes directrices à cet égard, bien que certainement souhaitable pour augmenter le degré de transparence du système, peut représenter une difficulté presque insurmontable pour la Commission (meme en admettant que celle-ci ait non seulement la volonté de les rédiger mais aussi intérêt à le faire)." --referendaire at the European Court of Justice, Revue trimestrielle de droit européen"The treatment of the subject is rich and full of interesting intuitions...This is certainly an interesting book dealing with a topic which had not yet been addressed in an English language monograph so far.One can only hope that scholars will be encourag
