341 results Law and AI (part 1): towards a European civil liability regime? On 20 October 2020, the European Parliamentary Assembly adopted, on the basis of three reports, three resolutions on AI from three different perspectives. In this blog, we discuss the report and the resolution on a civil liability regime for AI. BRRD II implementation in the Netherlands Recently, the Dutch bill for the implementation of BRRD II establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, as amended by Directive in the Netherlands was submitted to Dutch Parliament. ACM walks the walk: first-ever vertical price coordination fine The Dutch Competition Authority (“ACM”) has claimed a first victim in its vertical restraints battle. Samsung Electronics was fined nearly EUR 40 million for having meddled in the online resale prices for televisions at seven retailers. Commission reveals first piece of antitrust sustainability puzzle The European Commission has published a Policy Brief setting out its preliminary views on how to fit the European Green Deal’s sustainability goals into the EU competition rules. ESMA guidance on pre-close calls with analysts ESMA issued a statement on the practice of organising pre-close calls, where issuers share information with analysts immediately before a closed period. ESMA reiterates the legislative framework and identifies best practices for these calls. Google Shopping: self-preferencing can be abusive The European Court of Justice has confirmed that Google abused its dominance by favouring its own shopping comparison service and demoting competing ones. However, not all favouritism is doomed. Third time lucky: Intel wins loyalty rebate battle at EU top court The European Court of Justice has upheld the annulment of Intel’s EUR 1.06 billion fine for abuse of dominance. The judgment provides guidance on how to assess the anti-competitiveness of loyalty rebates. Hof van Justitie: enkele verplichtingen KRW gelden niet voor kleine meren (deel VII) In deze bijdrage, de zevende in de reeks, gaan wij in op een arrest van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie van 25 april 2024 over de vraag of de verplichtingen uit de Kaderrichtlijn Water ook gelden voor kleinere wateren. To Prove or Presume? The EC’s Draft Guidelines on exclusionary abuses The Commission recently published its Draft Guidelines on Exclusionary Abuses of Dominance, which are meant to reflect the EU case law. However, they seem to deviate on important aspects, arguably simplifying the assessment for establishing an abuse. AFM's spotlight on substantial holding notifications In its latest market watch, the AFM places a spotlight on notifications of substantial holdings and gross short positions in response to the ongoing public discourse on the issue. Implementatie van de Richtlijn grensoverschrijdende fusie, omzetting en splitsing per afgelopen 1 september 2023 De Wet ter implementatie van de Europese Mobiliteitsrichtlijn (de “wet”) is op 1 september 2023 in werking getreden.

Het Europese arbeidsrecht kent geen uniform loonbegrip (annotatie) Astrid Helstone en Jeanne Leeman bespreken een recent arrest van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie over de Richtlijn 2006/54/EG inzake gelijke behandeling van mannen en vrouwen in arbeid en beroep.
