DVD | Complying with EU competition law

Any business operating in the European Union is subject to European competition rules. The violation of these rules, even if involuntary, can have very serious consequences for businesses. These include fines that are becoming ever larger: fines close to €500 million have been imposed by the European Commission in cases concerning cartels and abuses of a dominant position.

This DVD provides a valuable training tool for any company wishing to disseminate the fundamental rules of competition law to personnel within the framework of a compliance programme. The training provided by this DVD does not require any previous knowledge of European competition law, and is therefore appropriate for training sessions with all of a company’s personnel.
