Parts of the studies, international reports and recommendations were made available on the Web and disseminated to a selected audience. However, the LIDC has also decided to publish the entire reports for the benefit of the legal practitioners, academics and authorities active in the fieldof antitrust, intellectual propertyandunfair competition. LIDCis therefore makingfulluse ofthisunique opportunitytocontributeinthedevelopmentofthesefascinatingfieldsoflaw. Thispublicationprovidesunparalleledcomparativeanalysisoftwo“hottopics” inthefieldofantitrustandunfaircompetitionlaws. The first part of the book examines the consistency and compatibility of trans- actional resolutions of antitrust proceedings (such as settlement procedures, leniency programmes and commitments) with due process and the fundamental rights of the parties. This is a particularly important topic, given the widespread adoption of these procedures by antitrust authorities worldwide. The papers con- sider how the leniency, settlement and commitment procedures have developed acrossarangeofjurisdictionsandconsidertheextenttowhichchecksandbalances havebeenappliedinthosenationalproceduresinordertosafeguardthefundamen- tal rights of the parties.
