Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe - Introduction and Overview -- Public Enforcement of Anti-Cartel Laws - Theory and Empirical Evidence -- Leniency Programmes and the Structure of Cartels - Remarks from an Economic Perspective -- The Role of Fines in the Public Enforcement of Competition Law -- The Interaction of Public and Private Antitrust Enforcement - The Calculation of Fines and Damages -- The Interaction of Public and Private Enforcement - The Calculation and Reconciliation of Fines and Damages in Europe and Germany -- Disgorgement and Private Enforcement as Mitigating Circumstances for the Determination of Fines in Antitrust Law -- Quantifying Antitrust Damages - Economics and the Law -- Best Practices for Expert Economic Opinions - Key Element of Forensic Economics in Competition Law -- Access to Evidence and Presumptions - Communicating Vessels in Procedural Law -- Economic Evidence in Competition Litigation in Germany -- Private Damage Claims - Recent Developments in the Passing-on Defence -- Competition Law Enforcement in England and Wales.
Over the past fifteen years, the optimal enforcement of EU competition law has become a major concern. This book contains a unique collection of articles by lawyers and economists on current issues in the public and private enforcement of competition law. Public enforcement has been strengthened in numerous ways - for example, through the introduction of a leniency programme and a substantial increase in fines for competition law violations. At the same time the EU Commission has been promoting private enforcement - for example, by developing a legal framework that grants victims of EU antitrust law infringements access to compensation. The contributions in this book address a range of topics in the area of competition law enforcement, including the role of fines and leniency programmes in public enforcement; access to evidence and the quantification of damages in private enforcement; and the interaction between public and private enforcement of competition law in Europe. >.
