With the new European Commissioner gearing up to begin her five-year leadership term and a Brexit deal on the horizon, we’re checking in on the state of affairs in the European Union (“EU”) with our two EU experts, Isabelle Rahman and Oliver Heinisch. Isabelle Rahman is a partner in the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in the firm’s Brussels office. She has substantial experience in the application of the EU competition rules and represents clients active in the airline, chemical, consumer products, food, life sciences/pharma, fashion, entertainment and media industries, among others. Oliver Heinisch is a partner in the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in the firm's London office. Oliver advises on all areas of EU, UK and German competition law with a focus on international cartel and abuse of dominance procedures including related antitrust litigation matters as well as merger control law. He also regularly advises clients on questions relating to the UK’s decision to leave the European Union. What We Discussed in this Episode:  What’s going to happen now that the Commission’s mandate has come to an end after 5 years? What will be the key focus for the European Commissioner in the new term? What is the significance of a woman leading the European Commission (“EC”)? What types of checks and balances exist within the EC? What is the greatest accomplishment of the EC in the past few years? Why the adoption of the GDPR is one of the regulations that the EU got right? How will big tech companies be treated by the EC going forward? Will Brexit have any affect on the strength of decision making in the EU? What’s the latest with Brexit anyway? Is there concern that the United Kingdom will become a competitor to the EU? What incentive is there for the EU to want to make a deal with the UK? Is Brexit likely to impact any industries in particular?

Updates on the European Commission and Brexit with Isabelle Rahman and Oliver Heinisch [NB 055]

More than one hundred forty nations around the world have their own competition laws addressing how multinationals may compete in their borders.  No two are the same. Knowing that, is it realistic to expect multinational companies to understand how policies and economics operate in countries around the world? How can multinationals doing business without borders compete abroad without fear of running into competition violations? In this episode, we’re focusing specifically on Europe and how companies can compete on that continent. My guest on the show is Isabelle Rahman, a partner in the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in the firm’s Brussels office. Isabelle has substantial experience in the application of the EU competition rules and represents clients active in the airline, chemical, consumer products, food, life sciences/pharma, fashion, entertainment and media industries, among others. What We Discuss in This Episode:    Which companies received the largest fines for violations of European competition laws? Is Commissioner Vestager on a crusade against U.S. technology companies doing business in Europe? Are the amounts of the fines levied against some U.S. tech companies in Europe appropriate? What are the different social underpinnings to the respective competition policies in the U.S. vs. Europe? Can your competitor file a complaint with the European Commission against your company? Why Europe consistently looks to protect against harm to the consumer Could a lack of similarly powerful and situated companies in Europe be one reason why the European Commission seemingly takes stricter measures against U.S. companies? What percentage of U.S. multinational companies’ revenues come from overseas? How has the Trump administration affected U.S. relations with Europe? How should companies with higher market shares in Europe conduct themselves in order to avoid violations?  Resources Mentioned: European Commission Directorates General Competition  Contact Information: Isabelle Rahman's profile page LinkedIn Thank you for listening!
