The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe’s neighbourhood and the wider world. Details of the research of the Centre can be found on: http://www.eui.eu/RSCAS/Research/ Research publications take the form of Working Papers, Policy Papers, and e-books.

European Networking and Training for National Competition Enforcers (ENTraNCE Judges) This series of working papers is published in the context of ENTraNCE Judges, training for national judges in competition law. The training is organised by the RSCAS, with the financial support of DG Competition of the European Commission. In the context of the training programme, selected judges from different EU Member States attend both online and residential training activities in Florence. Each year the training focusses on a different aspect of competition law enforcement that is relevant to the national judiciary. Information concerning the ENTraNCE Judges training program can be found at: http://www.eui.eu/Projects/ENTRANCE/Home.aspx Each working paper includes the case notes written by the national judges participating in one edition of ENTraNCE Judges. In the context of the training activities, in fact, each participating judge is requested to summarise and to comment on a national judgement that is related to the field of competition law. The working paper thus aims to increase understanding of the challenges faced by the national judiciary in enforcing national and EU competition in the context of the decentralised regime of competition law enforcement introduced by Reg. 1/2003. Abstract The working paper includes a collection of the case notes written by the national judges who attended the European Networking and Training for National Competition Enforcers (ENTraNCE for Judges 2014). The training programme was organised by RSCAS between January and October 2014 with the financial contribution of DG Competition of the European Commission. The case notes included in the working paper summarise judgments from the different EU Member States relating to different aspects of competition law enforcement. The working paper thus aims to increase understanding of the challenges faced by the national judiciary in enforcing national and EU competition in the context of the decentralised regime of competition law enforcement introduced by Reg. 1/2003.

INTRODUCTION The 48 case annotations included in this working paper have been written by the participants to ENTraNCE for Judges 2014, training program for national judges in competition law and economics. The 2014 edition represented the fourth edition of the program, organized by the RSCAS at EUI with the financial support of DG Competition of the European Commission. In particular, the 2014 edition program took place between January and October 2014, and focused on the application of the right of defence and due process in competition law proceedings. Besides training, the program aimed at fostering networking among national judges; participants could exchange their experience in relation to competition law enforcement in an informal setting. The reason for publishing these accounts is to inform other judges, but also policymakers and lawmakers and other interested stakeholders, of the state of play of competition enforcement across the EU and the role national judges are playing. In the absence of a database collecting all judgments these working papers serve to provide a snapshot of the kinds of issues that arise in the national courts and the emerging jurisprudence. This introduction provides a thematic summary of the contributions to help the reader gain a quick impression of the key legal and economic challenges that national courts have faced, Anti-competitive State action Judge Carlson (section 2.2) provides us with

Obviously, this was not an easy path, however, I learned in life that tough challenges are only given to the ones that can overcome them. None of this would be possible without the crucial help of essential people in my life. Firstly, I would like to thank to ISCTE-IUL in the person of Professor Vasco Gonçalves, for all the support during these two years. Afterwards, I must thank to my mother and sister, for all the encouragement and constant worry about myself, never letting me give up of anything. To my godfather which is always a source of wisdom and apprenticeship with whom I learn in every conversation that we have. Finally, to my father that will always be my example and to whom I devote all my achievements in life. i Business Plan: Biological Milk Production in Azores – BioAçores - 2020 Resumo De acordo com Mahatma Gandhi, 1“The Earth provides enough to satisfy every person’s need but not every person’s greed”.
