Publisher's Synopsis
This handbook covers the competition law of the European Economic Community and European Economic Area and is designed for those who work in or with western European insurance markets, namely, insurance professionals in insurance and re-insurance companies, insurance brokers and agents, lawyers working within these sectors, insurance lawyers in private practice and insurance law students seeking a competition perspective. It deals with the international competition law founded on the EEC and EEA treaties rather than national competition law regimes.;This book provides an account of what European competition law means in practice within the insurance industry, particularly valuable when ignorance or inaccurate assumptions can no longer be sufficient to keep the insurance sector safe from the active attention of the European anti-trust authorities. The text is accompanied by appendices of relevant legislation and source material adequate for most purposes.
