European Union competition law
European Union competition law concerns regulation of competitive markets in the European Union, particularly to ensure that corporations do not create cartels and monopolies that would damage the economic interests of society. With a history that traces back to the prohibitions on the restraint of trade, the United States Sherman Act 1890 and the Clayton Act 1914, EU competition law today derives from articles 101 to 109 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as well as a series of Regulations and Directives. Four main policy areas include:Cartels, or control of collusion and other anti-competitive practices, under article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).Market dominance, or preventing the abuse of firms' dominant market positions under article 102 TFEU.Mergers, control of proposed mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures involving companies that have a certain, defined amount of turnover in the EU, according to the Merger RegulationState aid, control of direct and indirect aid given by Member States of the European Union to companies under TFEU article 107This last point is a unique characteristic of the EU competition law regime. As the EU is made up of independent member states, both competition policy and the creation of the European single market could be rendered ineffective were member states free to support national companies as they saw fit. A 2013 Civitias report lists some of the artifices used by participants to skirt the state aid rules on procurement. Primary authority for applying EU competition law rests with European Commission and its Directorate General for Competition, although state aids in some sectors, such as transport, are handled by other Directorates General. The Directorates can mandate that improperly-given state aid be repaid, as was the case in 2012 with Malev Hungarian Airlines.
