European networking and training for national competition Enforcers – Selected Case Notes (2021)

This series of working papersis published in the context of ENTraNCE for Judges, a training programme for national judges involved in EU competition law. The training is organised by the RSCAS, with the financial support of the DG Competition of the European Commission. In the context of the training programme, selected judges from different EU Member States attend both online and residential training activities in Florence. Each year the training focuses on a different aspect of competition law enforcement that is relevant to the national judiciaries. Information concerning the ENTraNCE for Judges training programme can be found at:  https://digitalsociety.eui.eu/entrance-for-judges/. Each working paper includes the case notes written by the national judges participating in one edition of ENTraNCE for Judges. In the context of the training activities, each judge is requested to summarise and to comment on a national judgment that is related to the field of competition law. The working paper thus aims to increase the understanding of the challenges faced by the national judiciaries in enforcing national and EU competition in the context of the decentralised regime of competition law enforcement, which was introduced by Reg. 1/2003.
