About The More Economic Approach to EU Antitrust Law

In the late 1990s, the European Commission embarked on a long process of introducing a ‘more economic approach’ to EU antitrust law. One by one, it reviewed its approach to all three pillars of EU antitrust law, starting with Article 101 TFEU, moving on to EU merger control and concluding the process with Article 102 TFEU. Its aim was to make EU antitrust law more compatible with contemporary economic thinking.On the basis of an extensive empirical analysis of the Commission’s main enforcement tools, this book establishes the actual changes that the more economic approach has made to the Commission’s enforcement practice over the past 15 years. It demonstrates that the new approach not only introduced modern economic assessment tools to the Commission’s analyses, but fundamentally changed the Commission’s interpretation of the law. Emulating one of the key credos of the US Antitrust Revolution 30 years earlier, the Commission reinterpreted the EU antitrust rules as aiming at the enhancement of economic consumer welfare only, and amended its understanding of key legal concepts accordingly.This book argues that the Commission’s new understanding of the law has many benefits. Its key principles are logical, translate into workable legal concepts and promise a great degree of accuracy. However, it also has a number of serious drawbacks as it stands. In particular, the Commission’s review of Article 102 has yielded unsatisfactory results. Moreover, its revised interpretation of the law is largely incompatible with the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which has not been swayed by the exclusive consumer welfare aim. This situation is undesirable from the point of view of legal certainty and the rule of law.Volume 14 in the series Hart Studies in Competition Law
