Abstract:

Explains the artificial fibre industry in Europe in the early 1970s and late 1960s. Observing the crash on the market in 1971-72, the manufacturers came close to the European Commission for approval to arrange a "crisis cartel" excused from prosecution under the EC antitrust laws.

Pedagogical Goals:

The case checks out the reasoning of statutes for the enforcement of the EC antitrust laws, offering specific focus on the probability of exceptions for cartels in clinically depressed markets; to compare United States and EC antitrust laws.
