Legami personali e strutturali al vaglio della disciplina antitrust : lacuna normativa o interpretativa?

The present study focuses on the analysis of the anticompetitive incentives arising from the creation of structural and personal links between competitors. The study builds on the results of the economic theory, widely acknowledged by authorities and courts, to proceed with the analysis of the application of competition law. The exam of the legislation and of the interpretation given by courts and authorities over the years presents gaps and inconsistencies motivating the renewed interest by the legislator, both at the national and EU level.
