The course aims at providing students with a view on the interaction of the two goals of competition and sustainability within the framework of EU antitrust law. 

Relevant EU antitrust rules and case law, as well as the underlying basic economic concepts and tools, will be confronted with the emerging need to incorporate within antitrust analysis considerations of “green” or “ethical” features of goods and production processes, the extent they meet consumers’ preferences, and the way antitrust enforcement may either provide incentives or obstacles to the pursue of sustainability goals by undertakings.

The course also encourages students to learn through analysis and critical discussion of cases, with a view to stimulating debate on the application of rules to specific factual scenarios, use of argumentation and development of convincing skills.
