New frontiers of antitrust 2013

This volume contains the papers presented at the annual Concurrences Journal conference held on 22 February 2013 at the French Parliament.

After a key note paper from Commissionner Joaquin Almunia on the state of competition policy enforcement in the EU in 2013, the papers adress four main issues :

• Opening competition in protected sectors: Should new entrants be protected?

• Personal data: Will competition law collide with privacy?

• Private enforcement: Will the wave be coming from Brussels, London, Paris or… elsewhere?

• Industrial policy: Can a pro-competition industrial policy exist?

The volume ends by a contribution of Fleur Pellerin on innovation and competition.
