Description:
The e-commerce sector enquiry has put the retail sector under the spotlight of the Commission and national competition authorities. This far-ranging enquiry will examine potential barriers erected by companies to cross-border online trade. It will focus on the goods and services where e-commerce is most widespread (e.g. electronics, clothing and shoes), as well as in digital content. It will cover all EU Member States.
During the Competition Law Challenges in the Retail Sector conference our eminent speakers will update you on the enquiry and offer you a practical analysis of the issues which are likely to arise from it, helping you refine your strategies now.
Enforcers, in-house lawyers at the coalface, top private practice lawyers and economists will discuss current approaches to information exchange, RPM and private labelling that still generate considerable uncertainties.
