The Impact of EU Law on Swiss and Turkish Regulation of Competition – With Specific Consideration Given to Abuse of Dominant Position Cases–  Erdem Büyüksagis (University of Fribourg)

Abstract: Over the 88 years since the reception of Swiss private law in Turkey, cooperation between the two countries’ academic institutions has been promoted thanks to numerous projects, and much work has been done to enhance a mutual legal understanding. Today, the interaction between the two systems is less constrained and more diverse than may have been assumed in the last century. The fundamental issues arising from the interplay between national and international law as well as the implementation into national law of international norms and standards such as the new European regulatory policies have had a significant impact on Swiss and Turkish laws. Competition law is perhaps the most straightforward example where such an impact can be observed.
