Opis

Liza Lovdahl Gormsen questions whether the European Commission's objective of consumer welfare over economic freedom in the marketplace is legitimate.

Recenzje

'The author is certainly right in her diagnosis that the internal struggles within the Commission have resulted in a Guidance Paper that is torn between faithfulness to the existing case law and the desire of parts of the Commission to advance the more economic approach; and she is also right in pointing out that this vacillation is not conducive to legal certainty.' Florian Wagner-von Papp, Common Market Law Review
