Abstract

This chapter presents an analysis of the latest developments in the Romanian courts concerning the application of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. Romanian jurisprudence applying Article 101 is increasingly sophisticated in the areas of enforcing the right of defence of the accused enterprise, restriction of competition by object, and the determination of fines. Article 102 TFEU remains to be enforced by the Romanian Competition Council and subsequently applied by the courts.

    The same issue is apparent at the level of the Court of Justice of the European Union. This can explain why ECJ felt compelled in the case of Groupement des Cartes Bancaires v. Commission (C-67/13 P) to re-affirm the basic difference between agreements restricting the competition by “object” and those that only have the effect of restricting it, by emphasizing the former do not represent the rule.
