Students should gain knowledge of basic comprehension of certain activity from the viewpoint of competition law, propose solution in the interest of compliance and react to the legal actions of the Commission and Office of the Protection of Competition. The introductory part is aimed on the definition of basic concepts of Community competition law and its relation to other legal disciplines, as well as to the competition law on the national level of EU member states and other jurisdictions. Students will then be informed in detail about three basic institutions of competition law, that is with prohibited agreements, abuse of dominant position and the control of mergers. The final part is dedicated to the questions of Community competition law application, both on the Community and national level. All these themes will be analyzed with the special emphasis on the Czech Republic situation.
