eu country and transparency of financial contracts through duties to disclose material information about products being sold including disclosure of potential conflicts of interest with clients 337 the alternative investment fund managers directive 2011 applies to firms with massive quantities of capital over 100 million essentially hedge funds and private equity firms 338 similarly it requires authorisation to sell products eu wide and then basic transparency requirements on products being sold requirements in remuneration policies for fund managers that are perceived to reduce risk or make pay performance related they do not however require limits to pay there are general prohibitions on conflicts of interest and specialised prohibitions on asset stripping 339 the solvency ii directive 2009 is directed particularly at insurance firms requiring minimum capital and best practices in valuation of assets again to avoid insolvency 340 the capital requirements directives contain analogous rules with a similar goals for banks to administer the new rules the european system of financial supervision was established in 2011 and consists of three main branches the european securities and markets authority in paris the european banking authority in london and the european insurance and occupational pensions authority in frankfurt competition law edit main article european union competition law in microsoft corp v commission microsoft was fined 497 million for tying sales of its operating system to its media player to bankrupt competitor media players 341 maximum fines can reach 10 of worldwide turnover competition law aims to prevent competition from being distorted to the detriment of the public interest individual undertakings and consumers especially by limiting big business power 342 it covers all types of enterprise or undertaking regardless of legal form or every entity engaged in an economic activity 343 but not non profit organisations based on the principle of solidarity 344 or bodies carrying out a regulatory function employees and trade unions are not undertakings and are outside the scope of competition law 345 and so are solo self employed workers 346 because on long standing consensus in international law labour is not a commodity and workers have structurally unequal bargaining power compared to business and employers 347 a legal professional body setting regulatory standards was held to be outside competition law 348 and so were the rules of the international olympic committee and the international swimming federation in prohibiting drugs because although drugs might increase competition the integrity and objectivity of competitive sport was more important 349 eu competition law only regulates activities where trade between member states is affected to an appreciable degree 350 but member states may have higher standards that comply with social objectives 351 the four most important sets of rules relate to monopolies and enterprises with a dominant position mergers and takeovers cartels or collusive practices and state aid v t e monopoly dominance and abuse tfeu art 102 united brands bv v commission 1978 case 27 76

first article 102 of the treaty on the functioning of the european union prohibits abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position a dominant position is presumed to exist with over a 50 market share 352 and may exist with a 39 7 market share 353 there may also be dominance through control of data or by a group of undertakings acting collectively 354 and a corporate group will be treated as a single economic unit for the purpose of calculating market share 355 the prohibited categories of abuse are unlimited 356 but article 102 explicitly spells out the bans on a unfair purchase or selling prices b limiting production c applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions and d imposing unconnected supplementary obligations to contracts in a leading case on a unfair prices united brands co v commission held that although a banana company had a dominant position in its product and geographic markets because bananas were not easily substituted with other fruit and its relevant market share was 40 to 45 prices 7 higher than rivals were not enough to be an abuse 357 by contrast prices 25 higher than a company s estimated costs were found to be unfair 358 unfair pricing also includes predatory pricing where a company cuts its own selling prices to bankrupt a competitor there is a presumption of abuse if a company prices below average variable costs namely those which vary depending on the quantities produced 359 there is no requirement to show losses might be recouped 360 a leading case on b limiting production is astrazeneca plc v commission where a drug company was fined 60 million for misleading public authorities to secure a longer patent for a medicine it called losec so limiting public use 361 in 2022 in google llc v commission the general court upheld a 4 125 billion fine against google for the obstruction of development and distribution of competing android operating systems by paying manufacturers to not install any version other than google s own 362 refusal to supply goods or services may also be abusive as in commercial solvents corporation v commission where the subsidiary of csc stopped selling an ingredient for a drug to combat tuberculosis to a competitor after it itself entered the drug market 363 similarly in microsoft corp v commission microsoft was fined 497 million for among other things refusing to give sun microsystems and other competitors information needed to build servers after microsoft itself entered the server market 364 in google llc v commission google was fined 4 125 billion for bribing phone makers to pre install only its operating system version of android 362 under the third type of abuse c unlawful discrimination in british airways plc v commission it was held that british airways abused its dominant position by giving some travel agents extra payment to promote its tickets over others this made market entry very difficult and frustrated the ability of co contractors to choose between various sources of supply or commercial partners 365 under d examples of the abuse of imposing supplementary obligations include the microsoft corp v commission case where microsoft bundled a pre installed media player into windows os sales which had the effect of damaging competitor businesses such as realplayer 366 by contrast in intel corp v commission intel was fined 1 06 billion by the commission for giving rebates on x86 computer processors if manufacturers bought over 80 of their chips only from intel this had the effect of tying customers to the undertaking in a dominant position however the fine was annulled on the ground that the commission had not adequately proven an anti competitive effect 367 so in 2023 the commission imposed a smaller 376 million fine second the merger regulation 2004 applies to concentrations any merger or acquisition that generally have a value of at least 100 million turnover in the eu if it would significantly impede effective competition by creating or strengthening a dominant position 368 while mergers between direct horizontal competitors are carefully scrutinised upon mandatory notification to the commission vertical or conglomerate mergers are often allowed where a competitor is not removed 369 this has led to increasingly large business groups with ever greater power 370 v t e sources on collusion tfeu art 101

sharing markets d applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions and e making contracts subject to unconnected obligations according to article 101 2 any such agreements between undertakings are automatically void article 101 3 establishes exemptions if the collusion is for distributional or technological innovation gives consumers a fair share of the benefit and does not include unreasonable restraints that risk eliminating competition anywhere for example in parker itr srl v commission eleven corporations that manufactured marine hoses for offshore oil rigs were fined 131 million for rigging bids and sharing markets worldwide they would designate a bid champion in each case to raise prices 371 secret cartels are often hard to prove so the courts allow competition regulators to establish collusion where there is no other plausible explanation for price rises 372 some agreements among businesses however can be highly beneficial for instance in a decision on the conseil européen de la construction d appareils domestiques the commission held an agreement among washing machine makers to phase out production of low efficiency machines was lawful especially since it would lead to reduced pollution from electricity generation 373 fourth tfeu article 106 1 requires that the state may not grant special or exclusive rights for undertakings that distort competition and states that 2 competition law applies to services of general economic interest unless it obstructs their tasks in law or fact e g in providing public services under tfeu art 107 1 no state aid that distorts competition is allowed but aid is allowed 2 for individual consumers without discrimination and 3 for economic development particularly to tackle underemployment the procurement directive 2014 24 eu on government procurement in the eu sets standards for open tenders when outsourcing public services to private companies commerce and intellectual property edit main articles conflict of laws european intellectual property law eu copyright law and eu patent law while eu law has not yet developed a civil code for contracts torts unjust enrichment real or personal property or commerce in general 374 european legal scholars have drafted common principles including principles of european contract law and principles of european tort law that are common to member states in absence of harmonisation there is a comprehensive system of conflicts of laws to settle the jurisdiction of courts and the applicable law for most commercial disputes the brussels i regulation 2012 determines the jurisdiction of courts depending upon where a person is domiciled or has operations 375 the applicable law for consensual obligations is then determined by the rome i regulation where article 3 states the principle that a choice of law can be made expressly in a contract unless this affects provisions that cannot be derogated from such as employment consumer tenancy or other rights 376 the rome ii regulation determines applicable law in the case of non consensual obligations such as torts and unjust enrichment under article 4 the general rule is that the law applies where the damage occurred although under article 7 in the case of environmental damage or damage sustained by persons or property as a result there is a choice to bring an action under the law of the tortfeasor 377 unlike other property forms intellectual property rights are comprehensively regulated by a series of directives on copyrights patents and trademarks the copyright term directive 2006 article 1 states the principle that copyrights last for 70 years after the death of the author 378 the copyright and information society directive 2001 was passed to regulate copyright over the internet and the effect of article 5 is that internet service providers are not liable for data they transmit even if it infringes copyright however under article 6 member states must give adequate legal protection for copyrights 379 the resale rights directive creates a right to royalties for authors where works are resold the enforcement directive requires member states have effective remedies and legal processes under the european patent convention which is separate from the eu the general patent term is 20 years from the date that a patent of an invention is filed with an official register and the development of an eu patent attempts to harmonise standards around these norms the trade marks directive enables a common system of trade mark registration so that with exceptions a registered trade mark applies across all eu member states 380 public regulation edit the eu s budget in 2022 was around 170bn of this 54bn subsidised agriculture 42bn was spent on transport building and the environment 16bn on education and research 13bn on welfare 20bn on foreign and defence policy 2bn in finance 2bn in energy 1 5bn in communications and 13bn in administration see also economics of the public sector us public service law uk enterprise law and government procurement in the eu a major part of eu law and most of the eu s budget concerns public regulation of enterprise and public services a basic norm of the treaty on the functioning of the eu in article 345 is that the treaties shall in no way prejudice the rules in member states governing the system of property ownership meaning the eu remains neutral between private or public ownership but that it can require common standards in the cases of education and health member states generally organise public services and the eu requires free movement there is a unified european central bank that funds private banks and adopts a common monetary policy for price stability employment and sustainability the eu s policies on energy agriculture and forestry transport and buildings are crucial to end climate damage and shift completely to clean energy that does not heat the planet among these 33 of the entire eu budget is spent on agricultural subsidies to farm corporations and owners the eu also has an increasing number of policies to raise standards for communications the internet
