, Lecture 2. Competition law à
What is competition law?
à Competition Law is a set of norms which prevent monopolies and maintain fair competition
at the market.
Why competition law?
A lack of competition and monopolies present a danger to the market, in particular, to the EU
single market
What is a monopoly?
- A position in which one company produces for entire market or industry
- Occurs when a single seller occupies the entire market, the sold good is unique and
substantial barriers restrict the entry to the market
- Represent an ultimate form of the market failure
Why monopoly is bad:
- Means no market and, thus, no market incentives
- Monopolist can...
o ... Establish any price
o ... Supply an inferior product
o ... Fail to innovate
What competition law does:
- Prohibits companies to enter into agreements limiting competition
- Prevents very big companies from abusing their position
- Prevents governments from distorting the competition
- Prevents monopolies from occurring through merger control
- Recognizes the necessity of some monopolies
History of competition law:
- Competition law first appeared in the common case law doctrine of restraint of trade
- The restraint of trade doctrine challenged the contractual restrictions of the freedom
to conduct business
- Now: competition rules in many countries – from China to Canada, from Russia to the
US
EU: cartelization and war
- One of the oldest EU regimes
- Originated after the World War II
- Before World War II governments supported cartels
- In Germany steel cartel supported and helped the Nazi regime
EU: European coal and steel community
- After the war, the production of coal and steel in both France and Germany was to be
placed under a High Authority, with the participation of other European countries.
- The creation of the European Coal and Steel Community aimed at prevention of
cartels
Scope of competition law:
- The US Sherman Act preceded the EU regime
- But the EU regime is more developed
- We’ll cover the EU competition law
- The competition rules have similar basics across the world despite different sources
and understanding of effects
