EU: Detailed competition policy implementation paper posted

In a quick post, we drew our readers’ attention to the Commission’s Communication Report on the functioning of Regulation 1/2003 (Brussels, 29.4.2009 COM(2009) 206 final).




Later we added a comment to guide readers to the blog post Commission Report on How Regulation 1/2003 Works, by the EU Law Blog, which offers a neat explanation of the issues as well as links to the original Regulation, the Commission Report and the Staff Working Paper.
