Chillin'Competition

Last week, I finished my lectures in Liege. Now comes the time of tourism for us academics:

• To start, a dream comes true: For the 1st time, I will be attending  the ICN conference in the Hague as a NGA representative (a big thank you to the EU Commission for the invitation). Subject to Wifi availability, and to the interest of speeches, I will try to report/tweet live from the ICN tomorrow. In the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, an unusual number of competition law events are organized in the days that follow the ICN conference.  Events organizers are taking a free ride profit of the presence in Europe of high-profile speakers from the overseas.

• On Saturday, I will be in Sorrento (Italy) where the Italian Antitrust Association organizes a conference entitled “Major Developments in EU and Italian Competition Law“. See programme hereafter. Sorrento – bozza programma – 22-2-11 – def (2)

• Finally, on 20th, 27th May and 10th June, the Brussels School of Competition (BSC) will be organizing a tour in the national competition laws of 4 Member States (Be, FR, DE, UK). See registration form hereafter.  Nat_comp_registration_form
