Europese Commissie lanceert nieuwsbrief over concurrentie (en)

The European Commission has produced a new weekly competition newsletter, available by e-mail, summarising key developments in all areas of competition policy, including antitrust and cartels, merger and state aid. The summary also includes speeches of Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes i and important competition cases at the EU Courts. This summary complements the State Aid Weekly e-News which has over 4000 e-mail subscribers. In addition, a new e-mail subscription system will enable users to choose which alerts and news on publications they wish to receive. The initiative is part of the Commission’s efforts to raise awareness of competition policy and ensure a better understanding of its role within the European Single Market.

The Commission has created a weekly newsletter on competition and revised several of its publications allowing a better choice between quick and in-depth reading, more subscription options and better targeted news alerts. While aimed primarily at professionals dealing with competition policy on a regular basis, the publications are accessible to all audiences. This includes national authorities, legal and business communities, and citizens.
