Objectivos

This curricular unit aims to raise students' awareness of the rules that regulate the behavior of companies in the market, allowing them to distinguish between tolerated practices from attitudes prohibited by this branch of law. At the end of the course, students should be able to understand the main limits placed on the action of companies in the market, in terms of their concerted behavior to reduce business risks, to the detriment of the consumer, and in terms of abuse of a dominant position.

Programa

1- Scope of Competition Law 2- Collusions that restrict competition: the ban of cartels 3- The abuse of a dominant position 4- Merger control 5- State aid rules 6- Enforcement of competition rules by the European Commission and by national authorities

Método de Avaliação

The curricular unit will work on a theoretical-practical class basis, with sessions unfolding into explanatory classes on the fundamental concepts and on framing the topics of the program, delivered by the professor, interspersed with debate sessions devoted to the analysis of cases on the implementation of competition rules, by European institutions and by National Competition Authorities
