Chillin'Competition

To say that the mardis du droit de la concurrence are a classic of the conference arena in Brussels is an understatement. They have become nothing short of an institution thanks to their unique format, which allows for in-depth presentations by leading experts and meaningful exchanges afterwards.

The expert hands of Denis Waelbroeck and Jean-François Bellis have kept the sessions invariably topical and fascinating over the years. The 2024/25 vintage is not an exception, as you can see from the superb programme below:

15th October | Opening Speech, by Advocate General Athanasios Rantos (Court of Justice).

21st November | The Foreign Subsidies Regulation, by Andreas Reindl (Van Bael & Bellis).

10th December | Recent Developments on Abuse of Dominance, by Massimiliano Kadar (European Commission).

28th January | Recent developments in EU merger control, by Guillaume Loriot (European Commission).

20th February | La jurisprudence récente en matière de cartels, by Fernando Castillo de la Torre (European Commission).

12th March | Recent developments in State aid policy, by Jose Luis Buendía Sierra (European Commission).

16th April | Private regulation and competition policy, by Donald Slater (Ashurst).

20th May | Competition policy and growth in Europe: an economist’s perspective, by Adina Claici (BRG and College of Europe).

I understand there might be an additional seminar to top it all off in style. We will make sure to inform about it on the blog!
