Alternative Enforcement Techniques - Conference 5 june 2008 - Brussels
I am delighted to announce that together with the FEB (The Belgian Association for Enterprises), my research institute organizes on 5 june 2008 in Brussels a conference on the "hot" issue of EC competition law, namely the rise of a new enforcement paradigm, through the implementation of original legal instruments by the European Commission. Hereafter, a description of the conference topic, as well as the programme and registration form. Please note that the speakers have been asked to prepare papers for the conference (something which is unfortunately becoming increasingly rare in EC competition law events), which will be distributed to participants on the day of the event.
Over the past decade, EC competition law has undergone successive substantive reforms. Whilst most of the legal and economic issues arising from their implementation have now been settled, a new wave of reforms, which could potentially remould the institutional architecture of the EC competition system, is now on the table.
These reforms cover areas including the promotion of private enforcement, settlements and leniency applications for hardcore infringements, commitment decisions, market inquiries, informal regulation through guidelines and guidance letters. The seminar will take a fresh look at the development of alternative enforcement techniques.
High-profile academics, senior officials and prominent practitioners in this domain have been invited to discuss the rationale underlying these reforms and, more importantly, their likely legal and practical consequences.
All participants to the conference will receive a document folder which will include the papers prepared for the conference, as well as a full set of relevant materials.
