This is the 32nd edition of Sweet & Maxwell’s annual guide to EU competition law, still the essential starting point for the analysis of competition law issues for practical case work and academic study.

European Competition Law Handbook provides a comprehensive digest of Commission decisions and competition cases before the EU and national courts, conveniently cross-referenced by subject matter, for the swift location of the full list of relevant case-law, regulations and notices.

Comprehensive but simple to use reference system and clear structure:

Distinct sections on: General Competition Rules and Mergers and Acquisitions
The analytical digest divided by subject matter guides you through the maze of legislation, cases and decisions
Detailed tables show the type of decision reached by the Commission or Court of Justice, the type of agreement or activity, the product in question and any fine imposed
Tinted thumb tabs aid your navigation through the book

Key new cases include:

Mergers: EU Commission prohibition in Wieland/Aurubis Rolled Products/Schwermetall (despite proposed remedies); Phase 2 clearance in Aurubis/Metallo; Phase 2 clearances with remedies including Google/Fitbit, Novelis/Aleris, PKN Orlen/Lotos, NIDEC/Whirlpool (Embraco Business) and E.ON/INNOGY; many Phase 1 decisions with and without remedies; decisions on review or implementation of remedies including Takeda/Shire, Iberia/Vueling/Clickair and IAG/BMI; EU General Court judgments in KPN, American Airlines, and HeidelbergCement and Schwenk Zement; as well as many other cases on jurisdictional and substantive points, including data and digital platforms, innovation, media and telecoms mergers.
