Competition Law and Consumer Protection - The Debate is No Longer about Whether these Two Should be Integrated, the Question Now is How

April 30, 2010

European Competition Journal, Vol. 6 No. 1, April 2010, pp. 5-45

The proceedings addressed three issues in relation to the integration of consumer and competition law: How do we ensure that consumer protection issues are adequately resourced and attended to by competition authorities? How do we ensure that competition policy and consumer protection issues and cases are resolved with as little comflict as possible with other areas? How can competition authorities help strengthen consumer NGOs and consumer redress generally?
