Competition law within a framework of rights : applying the Charter and the Convention

A competition Law Judges Conference held at the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The themes addressed are:

• the fundamental guarantees in the various proceedings specific to competition regulation - powers of the regulators, claims for damages - ;
• the setting out of the rights enshrined in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and of the rich jurisprudence it has generated, along with the rights laid down in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union stemming from the Lisbon Treaty.

The book represents a fruitful confrontation of the jurisdictional experiences of each of the judges and of the search, beyond the diversity of their national cultures, for a truly shared legal and judicial area.

Under the direction of Théa Harles-Walch, the book brings together the contributions from Filippo Arena, Carl Baudenbacher, Eugène Buttigieg, Britta Dieck-Bogatzke, Richard Gordon QC, Alexander Italianer, Marc Jaeger, Wolfgang Kirchhoff, Gabriela Muscolo, Philippe-Emmanuel Partsch, Ulrike Pastohr, Pierre Rauchs, Jacqueline Riffault-Silk, Serge N. Schroeder, Dean Spielmann, Marina Tavassi, Patrick Titiun and Theodora Ziamou.

This book outlines the results of the 12th annual conference of the Association of European competition Law Judges.
