  Competition law, at both the Community and UK levels, plays an ever-increasing and important role in regulating the conduct of businesses. Competition law can affect business contracts, take-overs and mergers, co-ordinated actions, pricing behaviour and also state subsidies. Businesses require graduates to be aware of the significance and effect of the provisions of national and European competition law. This text provides a guide and outline to the general policies behind the main provisions contained in Community and UK competition law in a structured framework. The book is designed to be user friendly by seeking to consider competition law in a context to ease understanding, and by incorporating a glossary of useful terminology and sections at the end of each chapter for discussion or further reading.

  Competition law, at both the EC and UK levels, plays an important and ever-increasing role in regulating the conduct of businesses. Based on the premise that open and fair competition is good for both consumers and businesses, competition law prevents businesses from entering into anti-competitive agreements and from abusing their dominant market position. Competition Law and Policy in the EC and UK looks at how competition law affects business, including: co-ordinated actions; pricing behaviour; take-overs and mergers; and state subsidies. It provides a clear guide to and outline of the general policies behind, and the main provisions of EC and UK competition law. Information is presented within a structured framework, complete with a glossary of useful terminology. This fourth edition has been revised and updated to take into account developments since publication of the previous edition, including expanded coverage of the regulation of cartels, the development of private enforcement, the consideration of IP issues in Microsoft, and extended discussion of UK competition Law.
