Effective competition is the key principle of a single European market, but ensuring viable competition in some key
sectors such as telecommunication, energy, post and transport is not entirely possible without any regulation. The liberalization process initiated in the 1990s in all of these network-sectors fundamentally changed national markets and market players. This course aims to explain the basic economic and legal issues of these four network areas, and the main steps of liberalization. Further it introduces the key regulatory and competition principles in the network sectors with a focus on relevant European competition case law. The main benefit for students is the understanding of the functioning of competition law under specific conditions of the network sectors. After completing the course students will be familiar with the relevant Czech and European competition law rules and will be able to understand the basic principles of market regulation. They will also be aware of the major differences in the legal practice of individual national authorities that ensure viable competition in these areas. Last update: Nováčková Ludmila (24.09.2020)
