Marstallplatz Maxim ilian straß e Maxim ilian Marienplatz straß e Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition Venue Future Challenges of Competition Policy after 10 Years of Modernisation The Future of Competition Policy: more Policy than Competition?” Nils Wahl Advocate General at the Court of Justice 16 October 2014 Max Planck Lecture Series: „Future Challenges of Competition Policy after 10 Years of Modernisation “ The tenth anniversary of the entry into force of Regulation No. 1/2003 and of the Merger Control Regulation No. 139/2004 commemorates the most significant competition policy projects of the last decade: modernisation, decentralisation and the more economic approach. The project of modernisation has led to enforcement procedures and decisions which exhibit novel characteristics. Decentralisation has expanded the role of national competition authorities and has also assigned special European responsibility to these authorities. The more economic approach has laid the grounds for novel strands of arguments. In addition, the tenth anniversary of EU enlargement marks a decade of direct application of competition law in the formerly socialist EU Member States. The Max Planck Institute in cooperation with the Münchner Kartellrechtsforum cordially invites you Thursday, 16 October 2014 The Future of Competition Policy: more Policy than Competition?” Against the background of these major upheavals, the lecture series intends to take a forward looking approach by focussing on the future challenges, necessities and developments of EU competition policy. Central actors of EU competition policy, academics and experts from the legal and economic profession are invited to engage in a critical discourse. We are pleased to invite you!
