https://chillingcompetition.com/2013/02/28/post-danmark-more-than-just-one-case
Relaxing whilst doing Competition Law is not an Oxymoron. Post Danmark More than just One Case. Leave a comment ». PS: for a good reminder of the ruling and of its implications for future competition policy, I advise the reading of the excellent piece of E. Rousseva and M. Marquis.
