Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the course is to impart to students an understanding of the rationale behind competition regulation in the European Community, the substantive and procedural rules which comprise EC competition law, and their place within the Treaty scheme – they being ‘fundamental provision[s] … essential to the accomplishment of the tasks entrusted to the Community and, in particular, the functioning of the internal market’ (Case C-126/97 Eco Swiss China Time v Benetton International [1999] ECR I-3055, para 36).
