Allowing consumers to have a fair share of the benefits resulting from effective competition is one of the targets of competition policy. Better quality and innovative products, more choice and lower prices are the most prominent practical results.

This workshop aims to examine in which areas consumers actually benefit from competition and where there is still ...
