Overview

Buyer Power in EU Competition Law by Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui presents a comprehensive and cross-sectional discussion of buyer power. This analysis helps to have a better understanding of the legal regulation of buying conducts under EU Competition law. The study focuses on four main research areas: understanding buyer power; analysing the legal treatment given to the exertion of anticompetitive buyer power under EU competition law; exploring theories of harm applicable to buyer power abuse, and ascertaining the welfare standard employed for buyer power cases. The author compares the treatment of such conduct under selected EU Member States and US antitrust law, and contrasts the outcomes with the EU competition law solutions to present a contribution that is novel and valuable due to its approach, depth, and scope.

Dr. Sebastian Peyer, Lecturer in Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law Buyer power creates unique and important issues for competition policy.
