In this essential volume, expert contributors use this procedure to provide a neutral and extensive assessment of cases that have significantly shaped European Union (EU) competition law enforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith in-depth analysis of foundational cases of EU competition law and the methodologies that have been developed over time to predict how enforcement decisions will affect competition, for each case the authors respond thoroughly to such questions as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid the decision have an impact on the affected market?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid it improve consumer or social welfare?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWith the benefit of hindsight, were the factual assertions true?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWere all the relevant theories of harm (and efficiency justifications) properly investigated?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWas the decision able to deter similar anticompetitive behaviour?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid the decision provide clear guidance on which types of conduct should be deemed illegal?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndustries covered include information technology (the \u003cem\u003eMicrosoft\u003c\/em\u003e cases), payment cards (the \u003cem\u003eVisa Europe\u003c\/em\u003e 2010 Commitments Decision), pharmaceuticals, and conditional rebates (\u003cem\u003eMichelin I\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMichelin II\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBA\/Virgin\u003c\/em\u003e).
