Europe, the Middle East and Africa Antitrust Review 2021

The 2021 edition of the Europe, Middle East and Africa Antitrust Review is part of the Global Competition Review Insight series of books that also covers the Americas and Asia-Pacific. Each book delivers specialist intelligence and research designed to help readers – general counsel, government agencies and private practitioners – successfully navigate the world’s increasingly complex competition regimes.

Global Competition Review works exclusively with leading competition practitioners in each region, and it is their wealth of experience and knowledge – enabling them not only to explain law and policy, but also to put it into context – that makes this report particularly valuable to anyone doing business in Europe, Africa and the Middle East today.
