The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is a member of the European Competition Network (ECN). The ECN is a network comprising the European Commission and the national competition authorities in all EU Member States. It provides a forum for discussion and cooperation of European competition authorities and ensures effective and consistent application of EU competition rules.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EU competition law is contained primarily in Articles 101 and 102 of the\u00a0<\/span>Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(TFEU).<\/span>\u00a0Article 102<\/span>\u00a0prohibits dominant companies from engaging in abusive behaviour, including behaviour that excludes competitors from the market.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, Article 102 is the only area of European competition law where no Guidelines clarify its application. To address this, the European Commission (EC) has developed draft Guidelines on exclusionary abuses of dominance and has recently opened a consultation, inviting the public to share their views.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All interested parties can submit their comments on the draft Guidelines by 31 October 2024.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
