The Impact Of Competition Law On The Digital Markets Act – On The Interrelationship Between Regulations And Future Prospects, Iga Małobęcka-Szwast
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
Competition law, or rather the experience of its application in digital markets by the European Commission, national competition authorities (NCAs) and courts (in particular the Court of Justice of the European Union), has had a key influence on shaping the content of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The article shows the complex relationship between competition law and the DMA, and discusses examples of decisions of the Commission and national competition authorities that have had an impact on the shaping of the catalogue of obligations imposed on gatekeepers under the DMA. The role of national competition authorities in ensuring the effectiveness …

The Impact Of Poland’S Membership In The European Union On The Privilege Of Entrepreneurs Against Self-Incrimination In Proceedings Concerning Anticompetitive Practices Conducted By The Polish Competition Authority, Anna Mlostoń-Olszewska
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
In 2024, Poland celebrates the twentieth anniversary of its membership in the European Union. This milestone presents a good opportunity to examine the development of Polish competition law, including whether and how the procedures applied in Polish competition protection proceedings have been influenced by EU competition law. Although, according to the principle of procedural autonomy, Member States have the ability to shape their procedural rules independently, it appears that over the past twenty years, EU law has had an impact on national procedures, particularly through legal solutions adopted in Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003, and later in Directive (EU) No …

European Soft Law Instruments For Sustainability Agreements – Presentation Of Procedural Issues, Critical Analysis And Recommendations For The President Of The Occp, Agata Zawłocka-Turno
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
The article focuses on the procedural aspects of soft law tools employed by competition authorities in Europe, in order to help businesses advance sustainable development. In response to global challenges, such as the climate crisis, some authorities have introduced guidelines and informal guidance to enable companies to undertake pro-environmental collaboration, without breaching competition laws. Examples include guidelines from the European Commission, as well as those from the UK, Dutch, and French competition authorities. The article examines how effective these tools are, their impact on legal certainty for businesses, and explores how a similar approach could be implemented by the Polish …

Legal Professional Privilege In Proceedings Before The Polish Competition Authority Over The 20 Years Of Poland’S Membership In The Eu, Anna Gulińska, Paweł Fortuna
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
The article presents how EU and Polish rules on the protection of the confidentiality of communications between a qualified lawyer and a client (legal professional privilege, LLP) have evolved over the 20 years of Poland’s membership in the European Union. In addition, the article attempts to critically assess current Polish legal provisions, as amended in 2023, particularly in light of EU case law. A generally positive assessment of introducing the self-standing rules on LPP into the Polish competition law system is supplemented by critical remarks aimed at developing an interpretation of these legal provisions, which fully takes into account EU …

The Impact Of The Judgment In Case C-211/22 Super Bock On The Assessment Of Vertical Pricing Agreements, Krzysztof Kanton
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
The article discusses the impact of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the Super Bock case (C-211/22) on the assessment of vertical pricing agreements under EU competition law. The judgment underscores the need to apply an economic approach when assessing whether an agreement, which provides for the setting of fixed or minimum resale prices, constitutes a restriction of competition ‘by object’. In this judgment, the CJEU rejects the previous formalistic approach – present in the practice of the EC and NCAs – which automatically qualified RPMs as anti-competitive, without analyzing its economic and …

To Surmount Paramount Decrees By Degrees,

To Surmount Paramount Decrees By Degrees, Harry Kazenoff
Catholic University Law Review
The United States Supreme Court in United States v. Paramount and the subsequent Paramount Decrees in 1948 were the federal government’s original attempt to address the consolidation and concentration of the movie production, distribution, and exhibition markets. The government reversed its decision in 2020 because of both changes in the film industry and a change in the legal application of antitrust law. There are two schools of antitrust law thought: structuralism and the consumer welfare standard. The former is concerned with market concentration and supports the Paramount Decrees, and the latter is concerned with prices for consumers and is skeptical …

The Private Cause Of Action Under Maine's Unfair Trade Practices Act, Steven A. Shaw
Maine Law Review
In 1970 the Maine Legislature passed the Unfair Trade Practices Act (UTPA) which declared unlawful any "unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce . . . ." UTPA-type statutes, now common to all states, offer several advantages. The statutes provide for a statutory award of attorneys' fees, create a private cause of action which is simple in comparison to analogous common law claims, and offer a flexible concept of unlawful conduct which many courts have shown a willingness to interpret broadly and sympathetically. Although Maine's UTPA was originally …

A Structural Approach To The Application Of Section One Of The Sherman Act To Oligopolistic Interdependence, Annmarie Levins
Maine Law Review
A central tenet of American economic thought is that markets in which many producers compete for business are preferable to those in which one or a few sellers dominate. The conventional wisdom underlying this preference is that competitive markets produce more of the goods consumers want at lower prices than do noncompetitive markets. Oligopolies are markets in which there are few sellers. Oligopolistic markets are characterized frequently by higher prices and lower outputs than competitive markets. Many sectors of the American economy are oligopolistic. For example, the American automobile industry is dominated by "the big three," General Motors, Ford, and …

Old, Not Odd: Running Laches Against The States And The Future Of Antitrust After New York V. Meta Platforms, Frank Schulze
Michigan Law Review
In New York v. Meta Platforms, Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit applied equitable laches to an antitrust lawsuit brought by forty-six state attorneys general, holding that they had not brought their claims in their role as law enforcers. Meta Platforms is the latest in a line of cases that has characterized antitrust actions by state attorneys general as non-public and non-governmental. But this characterization is in tension with the historical role of state attorneys general in enforcing the antitrust laws and undermines the original design of the federal antitrust statutes as supplements to …

The paper aims to identify the disparities between Energy Communities and traditional energy market participants operating within EU Member States. The issues analysed belong to the field of legal and economic sciences. The research was conducted using formal-legal and theoretical-legal methods. The identified disparities were divided into: first, differences of a programmatic nature (including the origins of the formation and development of the compared entities, the degree of state interference and the scope of impact of sector-specific regulation on the business activities of these entities); second, differences of a structural nature (different dominant form of operation, capital structure, scope of …

Hence, the article aims to present the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating sustainability into the strategies of …
