定罪的Competition Law Enforcement

Economic and Legal Implications for the EU Member States

Edited by Katalin J. Cseres, Assistant Professor of Law, Maarten Pieter Schinkel, Professor of Economics and Floris O.W. Vogelaar, Professor of Law, Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics (ACLE), Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Netherlands

This timely book brings together contributions from prominent scholars and practitioners to the ongoing debate on the criminalization of competition law enforcement.

Recognizing that existing remedies and sanctions may be insufficient to deter breaches of competition law, several EU Member States have followed the US example and introduced pecuniary penalties for executives, professional disqualification orders, and even jail sentences. Addressing issues such as unsolved legal puzzles, standard of proof, leniency programs and internal cartel stability, this book is a marker for future policy debate.

‘. . . the criminalization debate is set to continue and this collection provides a valuable contribution to that debate.’
