Chillin'Competition

I have just finalized the programme of a major conference on Belgian Competition Law. This conference will take place on  11, 18 and 24 February, respectively in Liege, Charleroi and Brussels.

The purpose of the event is to provide an exhaustive overview of the first years of enforcement under the Belgian competition law passed in 2006.

To benefit from fresh input, I have applied the “below 40” rule. Most of the speakers are young practitioners. Hereafter, an overview of the programme:

• Le droit belge des ententes et de l’abus de position dominante, Damien Gérard (U.C.L.)
• Le droit belge des concentrations, Marc Abenhaïm (Van Bael & Bellis)
• Le droit processuel de la concurrence, Xavier Taton (U.L.B., Linklaters) et Joachim Marchandise (Linklaters)
• L’application du droit belge de la concurrence dans les secteurs libéralisés, Laurent de Muyter (Jones Day et U.Lg.)
• Le point de vue de l’autorité de contrôle, Laura Parret, Présidente de chambre au Conseil de la concurrence

Looks like we are going to have a lot of fun. A book will be given to registered participants on the day of the event. An official programme and a registration form will be posted here shortly.
