Law, Policy, Expertise: Judicial Review in EU Competition Law: CELS Webinar

Professor Pablo Ibáñez Colomo (LSE) gave a lunchtime seminar entitled "Law, Policy, Expertise: Judicial Review in EU Competition Law" on 16 March 2022 at the Faculty of Law as a guest of CELS (the Centre for European Legal Studies). Abstract: The interpretation of EU competition law provisions by the European Commission is subject to full review by the EU courts. Strict judicial scrutiny does not extend, however, to the policy choices made by the administrative authority. The latter are only controlled, if at all, for manifest errors of assessment. Drawing the line between issues of law and policy, however, is not a straightforward exercise in practice. For the same reason, it may not be easy to ensure that the legal interpretation of competition law provisions is subject to full review: annulling a decision necessarily has an impact on the effectiveness of policy. This paper considers how the EU courts have engaged with these matters. It also considers the role of expert knowledge, with which they occasionally have to engage in order to interpret the law.
