A competition Law Judges Conference held at the Court of Justice of the

European Union.

The themes addressed are:

- the fundamental guarantees in the various proceedings specific to competition

regulation - powers of the regulators, claims for damages - ;

- the setting out of the rights enshrined in the European Convention for the

Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and of the rich

jurisprudence it has generated, along with the rights laid down in the Charter of

Fundamental Rights of the European Union stemming from the Lisbon Treaty.

The book represents a fruitful confrontation of the jurisdictional experiences

of each of the judges and of the search, beyond the diversity of their national

cultures, for a truly shared legal and judicial area.

Under the direction of Théa Harles-Walch, the book brings together the

contributions from Filippo Arena, Carl Baudenbacher, Eugène Buttigieg, Britta

Dieck-Bogatzke, Richard Gordon QC, Alexander Italianer, Marc Jaeger, Wolfgang

Kirchhoff, Gabriela Muscolo, Philippe-Emmanuel Partsch, Ulrike Pastohr, Pierre

Rauchs, Jacqueline Riffault-Silk, Serge N. Schroeder, Dean Spielmann, Marina

Tavassi, Patrick Titiun and Theodora Ziamou.

This book outlines the results of the 12th annual conference of the Association of

European competition Law Judges.
