1 Eur. Competition J. 1 (2005)

handle is hein.journals/eurcompet1 and id is 1 raw text is: European Competition Journal EDITORIAL We have launched this journal with Hart Publishing in response to three main developments: First, recent cases and reforms have shown that European competition law and policy is increasingly intertwined with economic analysis and reasoning, usually at a reasonably sophisticated level. It is time for a journal which provides a deep consideration of European competition policy from both the legal and the economic perspectives. Secondly, modernisation of European competition policy and enlargement of the Union have provided exciting new challenges and opportunities for practitioners, officials and experts to learn from one another. This journal will provide a forum for that exchange of experiences, by providing not only detailed reports of important current developments in all of the jurisdictions, but also a platform for commentators both within and outside Europe to comment on systemic issues that affect us all. Finally, to a large extent this journal is simply bringing together supply and demand: for several years we have noted that authors of scholarly and comparative articles which examine both the law and economics of European competition policy have only been able to publish their work either in an abbreviated format in existing law reviews, or in academic working papers which do not reach a very broad audience. At the same time, the demand for such deeper thinking on competition issues has grown apace. We believe that discussion of European competition issues has matured to the point where we can offer a European counterpart to the Antitrust Law Journal and Antitrust Bulletin in the US. Our first issue includes articles by respected academics, practitioners, officials and jurists who are all deeply involved in European competition issues. They blend an understanding of competition law with its economic underpinnings, and make serious proposals on policy reform. For our Current Developments section, our rapporteurs have combined their expert local knowledge with an appreciation of the interests of their foreign counterparts in order to identify the most important and systemic issues. This issue's section focuses primarily on national antitrust developments related to modernisation; future issues will include national reports on merger control and sectoral issues. March 2005
