About the Event:
Rethinking exploitative abuse in the EU and the US
Mr Gregory J. Werden, Former Senior Economic counsel, Antitrust Division, Department of Justice of the United States, will examine issues arising from excessive pricing under EU and UK law and consider to what extent the European and UK experience might be relevant for US antitrust law. The talk will start from the text of EEC Treaty, its interpretation under the first Commissioner for Competition (who largely wrote it) and the subsequent development of excessive pricing doctrine under Article 86. Thereafter, it will discuss the status of the doctrine under Article 102 and the Chapter II Prohibition especially in light of recent CMA cases, and the potential application of rule-of-law precepts. The seminar will be followed by a questions and answers session.
The Speaker
Gregory J. Werden earned a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Wisconsin then began work at the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
