The Preliminary Ruling in MEO: Closing the Circle of Article 102 TFEU

Reka Horvath, Luc Peeperkorn, Ekaterina Rousseva assess The Preliminary Ruling in MEO: Closing the Circle of Article 102 TFEU.

ABSTRACT: The application of Article 102 of Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) has been of continuous interest for academics, practitioners, and enforcers alike. This interest may be due, in good part, to the central role that the provision plays in ensuring effective competition in the internal market. It is also stimulated by the continuous need to develop and adapt the economic concepts underlying its application to the evolving understanding of how markets operate.
