General Comparison of Italy’s Competition Laws, Enforcement, Procedures with Those of the United States Law No. 287 of October 19901 introduced the first competition rules in Italy. Before 1990, the protection of competition was guaranteed through the application of European Community (EC) competition law and the Civil Code provisions on unfair competition. The Competition Law addresses restrictive agreements, abuse of dominant position, and the creation and/or reinforcement of a dominant position through merger. The crucial interpretative challenge posed by the Competition Law is to define the forms of collective and unilateral conduct that pose unacceptable competitive dangers. The Competition Law proscribes rather than prescribes conduct, and it does not authorize positive administrative regulation of business conduct. For example, the Competition Authority cannot set the price for goods or services. In the past few years, however, independent administrative agencies have been established to monitor prices and contractual conditions in sensitive sectors such as communications and energy. On its face, this legal framework is similar to U.S. competition law. There are, however, significant differences between the Italian and U.S. systems with respect to both the substantive assessment and the applicable procedures. In Italy, the enforcement of the Competition Law is generally entrusted to the Competition Authority (Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato). In the banking and insurance sectors, the Competition Authority is responsible for the enforcement of the Competition Law. However, before adopting a final decision concerning undertakings active in these sectors, it must request the non-binding opinion of the Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia) and of the Insurance Authority (Istituto per la Vigilanza sulle Assicurazioni Private e d’Interesse Collettivo), respectively. Similarly, in the communications field, the Competition Authority must request the non- The Authors would like to thank their colleagues Alessandro Bardanzellu, Luigi Nascimbene, Patrick Marco Ferrari, Luca Crocco, and Gianni De Stefano for their contribution to the drafting of the present publication.

  • Cs Moby-Tirrenia-Toremar Raddoppio
    ______________________________ MOBY, RADDOPPIANO LE CORSE PER LA SARDEGNA DA LIVORNO PRENOTAZIONI PIU’ 80% PER MOBY, TIRRENIA E TOREMAR Milano, 10 giugno 2021 – Moby, Tirrenia e Toremar si confermano sempre più i vettori ufficiali dell’estate della ripartenza. Le tre Compagnie, che sono la maggiore infrastruttura sul mare del Paese, stanno registrando l’80% in più di prenotazioni. E il trend di coloro che vogliono raggiungere le mete servite – Sardegna, Sicilia, Corsica, Isola d’Elba, Arcipelago Toscano, collegate con Genova, Livorno, Piombino, Civitavecchia e Napoli – è ulteriormente in crescita. Da oggi arriva un’altra notizia attesissima dai viaggiatori: le corse fra Livorno e Olbia, in entrambe le direzioni, raddoppiano con quattro partenze al giorno, diurne e notturne, con anche un’ulteriore opportunità appositamente studiata per i viaggiatori: le corse diurne da Livorno partono alle 9.00, quelle da Olbia alle 11.00, per permettere ai turisti di godersi la vacanza fino all’ultimo raggio di sole e di arrivare nel porto dell’Isola Bianca in tutta tranquillità. Moby e Tirrenia sono sempre più il ponte fra la Sardegna e il resto dell’Italia, d’estate e d’inverno, tanto da aver già aperto le prenotazioni fino a maggio 2022 sulla Genova-Porto Torres e sulla Civitavecchia-Olbia, senza alcuna sovvenzione pubblica. Ancora una volta Moby, Tirrenia e Toremar si confermano la prima infrastruttura italiana sul mare, con più comodità, più corse, più mete, più comfort a bordo e anche assoluta sicurezza sanitaria: il care manager, un ufficiale dedicato al controllo delle misure anti-Covid, appositi zainetti sanificatori di cabine e spazi comuni e possibilità di mangiare anche in cabina con il room service.
