On July 15, 2019, the European Commission (the
"Commission") published its Report on Competition policy
for 2018 (the "Report"). This report is prepared annually
for the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the
European Economic and Social Committee, and the Committee of the
Regions. Once produced, it is debated in the European Parliament
and is the subject of a non-legislative resolution. It presents an
opportunity for the Commission to provide an update on the most
important decisions and legislative and policy initiatives adopted
in the field of EU competition law during the previous calendar
year. It thus covers the entire range of competition policy issues,
from cartels and investigations to mergers and State aid.
