The Proliferation of National “New Competition Tools” Within the EU: A New Challenge for Cross-Border Business?
Original language description
More than a third of EU Member States already have, or at least are seeking to have, a so-called new competition tool (NCT). Their autonomous standard-setting in this field is not yet subject to direct harmonisation by the EU, so one may wonder whether the future use of the NCT in practice in some member states will not be to the detriment of the coherence of the regulatory environment of the EU single market. Against the background of the historically oldest UK model, the paper therefore compares NCTs newly enacted or proposed in Germany, Czechia, Denmark, and Greece, with a view to identifying differences that could pose a new difficulty for cross-border business within the EU single market. Despite the structural similarities of NCTs in all the member states mentioned, the competences,procedures and the capacities of national competition authorities regarding the use of NCTs differ. The text therefore concludes with a mention of proposals for an EU NCT as a tool in the hands of the European Commission that could prevent emerging of troublesome regulatory differences in the shaping of some markets important for the whole EU.
