We are pleased to announce the new contribution of Pablo Ibáñez Colomo in our Competition Corner´s Symposium at EU Law Live, covering the topic of "Article 102 Exclusionary Guidelines: Codification or restatement?". In his piece, the author emphasizes the need for a precise and meaningful assessment of anticompetitive effects under Article 102 TFEU, highlighting that these occur when a dominant firm's practices significantly hinder rivals' ability or incentive to compete, without conflating such effects with mere disadvantages or harm to consumer welfare. The author’s purpose is to advocate for a precise, case law-aligned definition of anticompetitive effects under Article 102 TFEU, emphasizing the need for a meaningful and structured analysis that avoids excessive legal uncertainty and over-expansive interpretations.    Read more at EU Law Live: https://lnkd.in/dgxAbNUt #EUlaw #102TFEU #TFEU #competitionlaw #antitrust #consumers #dominantposition
