Violating European Union competition rules

The objectiv of my dissertation is mainly to introduce the problems of economic competition to the readers and to refer to the incidents of anti-competitive practices. In the introduction I defined the European Community from the historical aspect and I named all the legislative rules and contracts, that are pivotal to the European Community. In order to define in more profound terms I applied myself to Treaty of the establishement of the European community (articles 81 and 82 EC). Moreover, the readers can gain insights into various forms of violating the rules of economic competition such as abuse a position of dominance, dumping, mergers and acquisition, cartels, developing countries, ect. The practical part is based on the most serious anti-competitive practices in the European Community, which was handled by the European Commission, European Court of First Instance and by the antimonopol offices. At the end of my work, there are some practical tips for the companies, which either consciously or unconsciously behave anti-competitively which influences the common European market. The main sources of my dissertation were the basic treaties of the European Community, the Treaty of Maastricht, the Treaty of Amsterdam and treaty of Nice
