Description
Every year, top-level market regulators, academics and legal practitioners attend the Annual Competition workshop organised by the Robert Schumann Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute in Florence.
The attendees are invited to discuss a particular set of critical issues in EU competition law and policy, and participants either prepare in advance a written contribution on the issues of the workshop or contribute to the oral debate afterwards.
The meetings are closed to the public, but both the oral discussions and the written contributions are published shortly after the event in the European Competition Law Annual series.
This is the thirteenth in the series, reproducing the debate which this year examined the settlements in cartel cases, including their links with leniency and with private enforcement mechanisms, and settlements pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003.
