  • 1 Criminalizing Cartels: a Global Trend?
    1 Criminalizing cartels: a global trend? Gregory C. Shaffer, Nathaniel H. Nesbitt, and Spencer Weber Waller∗ in Research Handbook on Comparative Competition Law, eds. Arlen Duke, John Duns and Brendan Sweeney (Edgar Elgar, 2015) 1. Introduction For most countries, competition law is a relatively recent phenomenon. In 1950, only ten jurisdictions had competition laws. Today more than 120 jurisdictions do and more than 80 of these systems have commenced since 1980.1 Officials from these jurisdictions now interact regularly through networked organizations, such as the International Competition Network (ICN) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as well as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). There is no binding multilateral treaty mandating that countries have a competition law system that prescribes certain behavior, or create specialized institutions to enforce these prescriptions, although the North American Free Trade Agreement and a number of other free trade agreements signed by the United States (US) have short provisions that require countries to adopt and enforce laws against anticompetitive business conduct. Yet such prescriptions and institutions now exist in all major economies, creating what can be viewed as a transnational legal order, a collection of formalized legal norms and associated organizations and actors that authoritatively order the understanding and practice of law across national jurisdictions.2 Combating international cartels is one of the central goals of this transnational legal order, and there appears to be greater normative convergence on this antitrust issue than any other among governments. Countries around the world have increased sanctions against cartels, including in many cases adopting criminal sanctions for the first time, with the term cartels now commonly harnessed to the unsavory epithet ‘hard core’ to signify cartels engaged in price fixing, output limitations, market divisions and bid-rigging.3 More than thirty countries have ∗ Gregory C.

  • MERICS PAPERS on CHINA Update
    MERICS PAPERS ON CHINA Update RECORD FLOWS AND GROWING IMBALANCES Chinese Investment in Europe in 2016 Thilo Hanemann | Mikko Huotari No 3 | January 2017 RECORD FLOWS AND GROWING IMBALANCES Chinese Investment in Europe in 2016 Thilo Hanemann | Mikko Huotari China’s global outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) jumped to almost USD 200 billion in 2016, an increase so great that Chinese policymakers are now seeking to slow the pace of outbound investment expansion. The European Union (EU) continues to be a favorite destination for Chinese investors, with more than EUR 35 billion of completed OFDI transactions in 2016, an increase of 77 per cent from 2015. This stands in contrast with a further drop in investment by European firms in China. Chinese investors are eying a broad range of industries, but showed particularly strong interest in technology and advanced manufacturing assets in 2016. Real estate invest- ment, on the other hand, dropped sharply compared to 2015. Chinese OFDI shifted to “core” European economies in 2016. Germany and the United Kingdom accounted for more than half of total incoming Chinese investment last year. The growing imbalance in two-way FDI flows, persisting asymmetries in market access, and growing Chinese acquisitions of advanced technology and infrastructure assets have spurred heated debates in Germany and other nations about related risks. While the fundamentals suggest that Chinese outbound investment in Europe should remain high in the coming years, political uncertainty arises from Chinese capital con- trols as well as from changing attitudes toward Chinese investment among European policymakers, regulators and the broader public. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become an increasingly important part of the EU-China eco- nomic relationship.

Le grand prix cycliste d’Isbergues est créé en 1945, par le secrétaire général de la mairie avec l’aide de quelques commerçants pour donner une animation supplémentaire à l’occasion du raccroc de la ducasse du Pont-à-Balques. Devant le succès populaire rencontré, il est décidé de l’organiser tous les ans le 2e lundi de septembre jusqu’en 1954, où il prend sa place définitive au calendrier le 38e dimanche de l’année. Il devient officiel en 1947 avec l’appui technique du Vélo Club de Lillers, club affilié à la FFC, puis de l’US Saint-Omer en 1948 et 1949. 1950 marque un virage important : le Club Cycliste Isbergues Molinghem est créé quelques mois plus tôt, et devient l’organisateur jusqu’en 1988 où l’Association pour l’Organisation du GPI voit le jour et prend la relève. Appelé Grand Prix des commercants du Pont-à-Balques les 2 premières années, puis successivement Grand Prix de la ville d’Isbergues, Grand Prix cycliste international d’Isbergues, il devient en 2006 le Grand Prix international d’Isbergues-Pas•de•Calais. Les premières éditions sont disputées par des coureurs amateurs et indépendants. En 1949, placé sous l’égide de la FFC, il est ouvert à toutes les catégories en individuel y compris professionnelles.

  • Worldteams Profiles
    KEY RIDER BIOS | WORLDTEAMS PROFILES WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) In the top flight for the past 24 years, the French squad shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet— who’ll be among the stars racing here in Canada—finishing second in the general classification. A season‐win total stuck at six has taken some of the shine off that success, but the fact remains that Vincent Lavenu’s team has been influential all season long. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2016 (as of Aug. 22): 6 RIDERS TO WATCH Romain Bardet (FRA): Age 24, turned pro in 2012. Palmarès: 5 wins including two stages of the Tour de France. This season: 1 win; 2nd in the Tour de France, 2nd in the Critérium du Dauphiné, 2nd in the Tour of Oman. In 2016, this French climbing specialist continued his impressive rise to the higher echelons of world cycling, proving that he was one of the few men who could give Chris Froome a run for his money, both in the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France. Though tired after the Rio Olympics, he’ll be eager for end‐of‐season success in Canada, where he has done well in the past (5th in Montréal in 2014, and 7th last year). Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 28, turned pro in 2013. Palmarès: 5 wins including Stage 8 of the 2015 Tour de France. This season: 2nd in the GP de Plumelec, 3rd in the French National Championships. A series of crashes and health worries have kept his former mountain biking specialist from fulfilling the promise of his exciting 2015 season.
