Judgment of the Court of Justice C-360/09 Pfleiderer
The provisions of European Union law on cartels, and in particular
Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002 on the implementation of
the rules on competition laid down in Articles 101 TFEU and 102 TFEU, must be
interpreted as not precluding a person who has been adversely affected by an
infringement of European Union competition law and is seeking to obtain damages
from being granted access to documents relating to a leniency procedure
involving the perpetrator of that infringement. It is, however, for the courts
and tribunals of the Member States, on the basis of their national law, to
determine the conditions under which such access must be permitted or refused
by weighing the interests protected by European Union law

Some argue that, rather than

violations of Internet Freedom. In my view, while critically important,
antitrust laws alone would not adequately preserve the freedom and openness of
the Internet or provide enough certainty and confidence to drive investment in

Reforming
EU State aid rules on public services: The way forward
Joaquín Almunia Vice President of the European
Commission responsible for Competition Policy
EPC policy Dialogue, Brussels Brussels, 2 May 2011
’Public services lie at the core of my vision of Europe’s social market
economy. I believe that the provision of certain services cannot be left to the
market alone.’/’Monti-Kroes package’改訂に向けて―ただし、’The reform we are discussing today is not based on Article 14 of the
Treaty. Instead it is based on Article 106, which grants the Commission
exclusive power to assess the compensation for the provision of public
services.’/改革の方向性−economic activities, reasonable profitの定義・手続きのシンプル化・分野別block-exemption・大規模案件のscrutiny・Altmark4条件(とくに効率性)の明確化等

There is no set definition of 'net neutrality' but it will be a
legal requirement under EU law as from 25 May 2011 that Member States' telecoms
regulatory authorities promote the ability of internet users "to access
and distribute information or run applications and services of their
choice" (Article 8(§4)g of the telecoms Framework Directive 2002/21/EC, as
amended by Directive 2009/140/EC).
- ‘The essence of net neutrality and the issues
underpinning the debate concern first and foremost how best to preserve the
openness of this platform and to ensure that it can continue to provide
high-quality services to all and to allow innovation to flourish, while
contributing to enjoyment of and respect for fundamental rights, such as
freedom of expression and freedom to conduct business.’
- ‘Concerns were raised that blocking, though
currently limited mainly to VoIP, could be extended in the future to other
services, such as television broadcasting via the internet.’

internet belongs to all of us

; ‘EU merger control – together with our internal market rules – is key here.
Article 21 of the Merger Regulation allows Member States to take into account
legitimate public interests such as media plurality, public security, and
prudential rules. But the same provision also gives the European Commission the
power to ensure that Member States do not put forward unjustified obstacles to
cross-border mergers with EU implications.’ [Internal Market / Merger]; ‘In the first months of 2011 we have

object or effect論争のobject話: ‘I therefore consider that a general and absolute ban on selling goods to
end-users via the internet imposed on authorised distributors in the context of
a selective distribution network which prevents or restricts parallel trade
more extensively than such restrictions inherent to any selective distribution
agreement and which goes beyond what is objectively necessary in order to
distribute those goods in an appropriate manner in the light not only of their
material qualities but also their aura or image, has the object of restricting competition for the purposes of Article 81(1)
