Abstract

Abstract: This survey covers the case law from Luxembourg and Strasbourg on fundamental rights and competition law from 2013. It extends to fundamental rights cases which do not directly concern competition law but are likely to have an impact on it. Arguably, the most novel developments relate to requests for access to documents submitted with a leniency application (Donau Chemie, Energie Baden-Württemberg and Netherlands v Commission) and the proper remedy for unreasonable delay (in particular Gascogne). However, the survey also covers case law concerning a number of other issues such as the standard and extent of judicial control of Commission decisions applying Articles 101 and 102 TFEU.
