AECLJ Annual meeting 2023
After a successful hybrid meeting in September 2022, we are now planning to return the annual meeting to 15th-17th June in 2023 in the Hague as guests of our Dutch colleagues; the topics for Friday are the implications of commitment and settlement decisions by competition authorities and confidentiality. We shall also have our annual opportunity to update each other on recent case law as well as our annual general meeting. Please address queries to aeclj@catribunal.org.uk
The 13th edition of the training course focuses on the recent developments in applying Article 102 TFEU, including the ongoing revision of the Market Definition Notice. To cope with pandemic-related travel predicaments, the organization adopts a hybrid format. In line with past editions, e-learning activities alternate with residential ones in Florence (i.e., 22-24 February 2023) and Luxembourg (26-28 September 2023 t.b.c.). However, the Residential Training will also be accessible via Zoom for those selected participants who will not travel to Florence even last minute. The ENTraNCE budget covers travel and accommodation costs for all selected participants, which this year can be up to 52.
Interested national judges from EU Member States (Denmark excluded) and Albania and Montenegro, can apply by 30 November 2022 following instructions at this link: ENTraNCE – 2023 – RSC events registration portal (rscas.eu)

Stepping up with the fundamentals of competition law: from core principles to advanced competition law enforcement – you need to submit your registration form by no later than 15 September 2022. Applicants will be notified by 1 October 2022 if their registration has been accepted.
Organised in the framework of the OECD-GVH Regional Centre for Competition (RCC) which will take place in Budapest, Hungary. It will receive funding from the European Union.
The seminar entitled “Stepping up with the economics of competition law: from core principles to advanced competition law enforcement” aims at exploring economic concepts, tests and evidence used in antitrust cases. National judges will get acquainted with economic concepts, as well as the economic reasoning underlying the EU competition law framework and will gain a comprehensive understanding of the different economic models and tests used to assess anti-competitive effects and notions, such as market power and relevant market. Special attention will be devoted to sources of information and guidance, to which judges could turn to when they have to face complex or novel issues.
The topics will be addressed and discussed by competition law experts from OECD member countries. Practical exercises on hypothetical cases involving all participants will provide a great opportunity to apply the learnings of the seminar in practice. Furthermore, participants will be engaged in Q&A sessions with the experts and will be encouraged to share their experience with one another to promote further cooperation and networking.
They encourage judges who wish to increase their understanding of competition law to participate in the seminar. Please be informed that the seminar is open to national judges, prosecutors and apprentice national judges who are dealing with competition law issues in one of the EU Member States, Albania, Montenegro, Turkey, Serbia, and North Macedonia. Each applicant is kindly requested to indicate their prior experience in general European competition law.
