Bill No. 7479 on the organisation of the National Competition
Authority and repealing the Law of 23 October 2011 on competition
in the final stretch
Bill No. 7479 (hereinafter " the
Bill") implements into national law the Directive
(EU) 2019/1 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11
December 2018 to empower the competition authorities of the Member
States to be more effective enforcers and to ensure the proper
functioning of the internal market (hereinafter "the
Directive"), which should have been implemented into
Luxembourg law by the 4th of February 2021.
In implementing the Directive, the Bill also aims at adapting
Luxembourg law to the evolutions of the case law of the Court of
First Instance and the Court of Justice of the European Union by
specifying the procedures and the new powers of what will be the
new "Competition Authority of the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg", and no longer the "Competition
Council".
