"The Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe" ed. by Thomas M. J. Möllers, Andreas Heinemann (Repost)

This inquiry describes the state of competition law in fifteen European countries. The International and European legal frameworks are presented, as is the approach of US-American law. It is argued that efforts to strengthen private enforcement of antitrust law can benefit from rich European experience in unfair competition law.
