Unrelated to EC competition law, but could not resist to post it. In its conclusions under Case C-246/07, Commission of the European Communities v Kingdom of Sweden, 1 October 2009, Advocate General Poiares Maduro made a surprising reference:
Sweden did not let that decision-making process take its natural course and culminate in a Council decision either for or against the addition of PFOs to the Convention. Sweden should have engaged in the Community decision-making process until such a decision was reached, even if, politically, it felt that its efforts to achieve a common proposal on the addition of PFOs to the Convention were as doomed as lemmings heading towards the edge of a cliff.
Plain excellent. Thanks to Cedric Cheneviere for the pointer.
New Book on Associations (Federations) of Undertakings and Competition Law
Charles GHEUR and Philippe LAMBRECHT, of the Belgian Federation of Undertakings (FEB), have just published
The book is edited by Larcier.
No book review for this one, because I am conflicted (I wrote the chapter on exchange of information agreements). This being said, this book is one of the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the implications of EC/national competition rules for federations of undertakings. It will surely help many in-house lawyers from federation/association of undertakings in their daily work.
