Abstract

This paper deals with the publication by the European Commission of its decisions adopted in the enforcement of the competition rules laid down in Articles 101 and 102 TFEU (antitrust decisions). The paper examines the legal basis of such publication and the interests justifying publication; what content of the decision must be published, may be published and cannot be published; the procedure and timing of the publication; and the relationship with public access to documents.
