The Autorité publishes a study on professional bodies

To mark new provisions coming into force that expose professional bodies to heavier and more dissuasive sanctions, and as part of an approach aimed at promoting compliance, the Autorité has dedicated a study to the application of competition law to these stakeholders.

The Autorité has decided to support this change by dedicating a study to professional bodies. Drawing on decision-making practice and case law, the aim is to analyse all behaviours that may be opposed to competition law and to present alongside them the pro-competitive actions that can be taken by professional bodies.
