Abstract
The book under review here provides a very broad analysis of the concept of a single economic unit. The analysis refers either to many aspects of substantive rules of competition law (among them, the application of the prohibition of competition restricting agreements to agency contracts or bid-riggings, merger control, setting up of joint ventures) or to the complex problem of attributing liability for antitrust breaches and imposing sanctions for them. [why is it either or?] The Author tries to compare the application of the concept of a single economic unit in competition law and its application in other legal areas such as energy law or regulations on public procurements. The economic context is not omitted either, which must be presented due to the nature (economic as such) of the analyzed concept, economic issues are thus covered in subchapter II.3. As a result, the reviewed book presents the concept of a single economic unit in a complex legal and economic context.
