Summary
This chapter outlines the relevant provisions of the EU (and Member State) competition regimes. The purpose of this is to describe the legal architecture by which agreements among competitors and competitive practices are evaluated. As the EU’s competition provisions do not exist in isolation from other Treaty provisions, those that have a bearing on how the competition provisions are interpreted are also described. This provides a background for the argument of the remainder of the book.
