6 Eur. Competition J. 1 (2010)

handle is hein.journals/eurcompet6 and id is 1 raw text is: European Competition Joumal ANTITRUST MARATHON IV: WITH AUTHORITY Location: The Irish Writers' Museum, Parnell Square, Dublin Date and time: 27 October 2009 Moderated by: Dr Philip Marsden and Spencer Weber Waller Organised by: The British Institute of International and Comparative Law and the Institute For Consumer Antitrust Studies, Loyola University Chicago School of Law with the Assistance of the Irish Competition Authority FOREWORD A few years ago Spencer Waller and I got the idea to hold a series of Antitrust Marathons-roundtables of senior officials, practitioners and academics to discuss enduring issues of competition and consumer policy in more depth than is possible on the conference circuit. Thoughtful papers are commissioned and a court reporter is present to capture a transcript, which we then publish in alternate years in the Loyola Consumer Law Review or the European Competition Journal. The event is always adjacent to a marathon, and so far we have run, written and debated in Chicago, London, Boston and most recently with this report which follows-in Dublin. We hope that the report is of interest and that it stimulates further running commentary as well! Our thanks to all participants in this year's event, to the Irish Competition Authority for assisting in preparing a challenging agenda, and to my colleague Justine Stefanelli at the British Institute for marshalling the various arguments into the final edited format.
