Author Description

This volume of EC competition law materials serves both as the Materials volume of the Sixth Edition of Bellamy & Child: European Community Law of Competition, and as a free-standing work of reference in its own right. It includes legislation, notices and guidelines relevant to all areas of EC competition law (including Treaty provisions, modernization and procedural matters, substantive antitrust matters, mergers and concentrations, sectoral regimes, public undertakings and State aids). It provides a one-stop resource for competition and antitrust practitioners worldwide.For ease of use, notes are included immediately below individual recitals and articles. These notes include the original Official Journal notes, identification of amendments and, as a major enhancement, thorough pinpoint cross-references to specific paragraphs where the relevant provisions are discussed in the Sixth Edition of Bellamy & Child and also the Second Edition of Faull & Nikpay: The EC Law of Competition. A copy of this Materials volume is included with each Bellamy & Childset, and the sets will be updated annually to include the new materials volume. The Materials volume is also available for purchase separately. In addition, the materials themselves are kept regularly updated on a companion website.
