| Abstract: | The article states that competition law is the cornerstone of consumer law and that the decentralised use of European Community (EC) competition law provides new opportunities for an effective application of the EC competition rules to the benefit of consumers. The aim is to protect consumers with an internal market programme and a "consumer protection" policy, since an effective competition policy is crucial for consumers in a market economy. Some Community law features should be further developed in order to contribute to an increased application of the competition rules in the interest of consumers. |
