Practical aspects of arbitrating EC competition law

It is nowadays widely accepted that arbitral tribunals are in a position to decide upon EC competition law questions. Very recently, the EC Commission has started an initiative to encourage private enforcement of EC competition law. It is clear that this will increase the importance of arbitration as alternative dispute resolution mechanism for such enforcement. In addition, the EC Commission increasingly uses arbitration as means of private monitoring and enforcement of commitments given by parties in the framework of public antitrust or merger control proceedings.This book is aimed at putting its spot on a number of issues of arbitrating EC competition law which are, in the authors' view, of most relevance in practice. Twenty young lawyers from all over Europe express their views on these issues, making a precious contribution to properly understand them and to develop appropriate solutions.
