The Decline of the Territorialitiy Principles in EU Antitrust Law

Abstract

This study challenges paradigms in the area of EU antitrust law. In contrast to the prevailing opinion it draws the conclusion that the legal acts (the decisions) of the cartel authorities of the EU member states ought to be qualified as transnational administrative acts which are issued under the authority of the EU within the application of European law.
