The European Commission (EC) is about to issue Guidelines on exclusionary abuses. This presentation will discuss how economics can and should be used to inform a sound and effects-based approach in the enforcement of Article 102 TFEU. 

In particular, Professor Motta shall discuss: in which circumstances the EC could rely on (rebuttable) presumptions of harm; when price-cost tests are meaningful and when they are not; which limiting principles should be used for self-preferencing; and what to make of the essentiality of the input as a requirement for vertical foreclosure cases.
