In recent years, the enforcement of EU competition law, specifically Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), has become increasingly decentralized, leading to more frequent national applications across the EU. This shift presents challenges for maintaining a consistent application of these provisions. This edited collection offers a comprehensive analysis of the limitations and challenges associated with the national applicability of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. The work is structured into five parts, beginning with an exploration of how the consistent enforcement of these articles serves as a foundation for EU competition policy. It then reviews significant recent cases from the European Court of Justice related to these articles, followed by an examination of unique jurisdictional challenges that hinder uniform application. The collection also highlights the role of preliminary rulings as a crucial tool for ensuring consistent enforcement in national courts. Finally, it presents specific examples of how Articles 101 and 102 TFEU are implemented at the national level, shedding light on the practical difficulties surrounding the consistent application of EU competition law.
