W@Competition Talk: The Role of Market Definition in Today’s Competition Enforcement: Reflections on the New Notice

The 6th edition of the W@Competition Annual Conference will explore the theme of competitiveness – a strategic priority that has been one of the key pillars underpinning EU policies pursued by the outgoing European Commission. The conference will explore which role this strategic priority has played for EU competition policy as well as the role that competition enforcement has played in supporting the strategic direction towards a more competitive Europe.&nbsp;&nbsp;09:30 Co-Chairs’ Welcome Remarks<ul><li>Evelina Kurgonaite, Founder &amp; Chair, W@</li><li>Ethel Fonseca, W@Competition Board Member</li></ul>&nbsp;09:40 Is Bigger Always Better?
