Wettbewerbsrecht Blog

Official Blog of the European Competition and Regulatory Law Review (CoRe)

Der CoRe Blog bietet ein Austauschformat für aktuelle Analysen der Entwicklungen im EU-Wettbewerbsrecht. Er ist der Blog-Begleiter der vierteljährlich erscheinenden, mit einem doppelten Peer-Review-Verfahren versehenen European Competition and Regulatory Law Review (CoRe). Der CoRe-Blog füllt die Lücken, die eine viermal jährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift nicht schließen kann: unmittelbare Aktualisierungen und Analysen der neuesten Entwicklungen im EU-Wettbewerbs- und Regulierungsrecht und die Möglichkeit, diese Entwicklungen über unseren Kommentarbereich direkt mit anderen Experten zu diskutieren.

Wir möchten hören, was Sie über die aktuellen Themen im EU-Wettbewerbs- und Regulierungsrecht denken. Reichen Sie Ihren eigenen Beitrag (500-2000 Wörter) als externer Autor ein. Der Autor des beliebtesten Blogbeitrags im letzten Quartal wird in der CoRe-Zeitschrift veröffentlicht und erhält ein kostenloses Exemplar einer Ausgabe seiner Wahl.

New momentum for abandoning the 50+1 rule of the German Bundesliga?
Competition Blogs - football 1396740 1920
Have you recovered from the World Cup yet? Whether or not, it is now time to focus on the national football leagues again and support the football club of your choice (for better or worse).

The Commission’s Android decision: Google cements its dominance in search… to the benefit of consumers?
Competition Blogs - pathum danthanarayana t8TOMKe6xZU unsplash
Last week’s Commission decision on Google’s Android operating system made for great headlines. On top of the eye-watering fine of €4.3 billion, it even had the dubious honour of eliciting a presidential tweet. It was the kind of decision that sparked extensive papers long before its adoption, and a barrage of commentary immediately afterwards. Now that the dust has settled, […]

The Commission’s Gazprom decision – an environmentally relevant demonstration of the Commission’s power
Competition Blogs - Global Warming Pollution Environment Smoke
Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager is making a name for herself as the Commissioner who really takes on the ‘big whales’ of international corporations and holds them accountable to EU competition law. After the Commission took on international tech giants like Google and Facebook under Vestager’s stewardship, the Russian energy giant Gazprom has now been added as the latest feather in […]

Competition Blogs - brooke lark W1B2LpQOBxA unsplash
The recent standoff between advertisement application developer Unlockd and Google, concerning the removal of Unlockd from the Google Play Store and AdMob marketplace, may turn out to be one of the most important competition law cases of the year. This case, which will likely require a competition law review of Google’s terms and conditions for these platforms, provides the opportunity […]

Price discrimination and abuse of dominance – MEO Case C-525/16
Competition Blogs - tv 2964103 1920
The recent case of MEO delivers a meaningful clarification concerning the importance of an effects analysis in the case of art. 102 (c) TFEU. While not providing an ultimate solution for all comparable future cases, the CJEU in this case clearly indicates that term ‘competitive disadvantage’ constitutes an independent element of art. 102 (c) TFEU that requires proof. Background to […]
