Chillin'Competition

The Mannheim Centre for Competition and Innovation has long had a most deserved reputation as one of the premier groups carrying out truly interdisciplinary research on issues at the interface of intellectual property, regulation and competition policy.

The Centre’s conferences have become a classic in our circles. This year’s event (10th and 11th November) promises to be even more special than the preceding ones. As you will see in the programme, it is devoted to Regulation 1/2003, both from a retrospective and a prospective standpoint.

I am honoured to have been invited to deliver one of the keynote speeches, which will revolve around remedies. The centre of gravity of competition policy is clearly shifting towards remedies, and there are reasons to discuss the extent to which we may need to adjust our legal framework to acknowledge this emerging reality.

Other keynote speakers are Mike Walker (CMA), Wouter Wils (European Commission) and Johannes Laitenberger (General Court). Alongside them, four amazing panels featuring leading civil servants, academics and practitioners.
