Competition (Amendment) Bill 2007: Second Stage
8:00 pm
Michael Ahern (Cork East, Fianna Fail)
Because section 4 reflects Article 81, the delimitation of section 4 of the Act contained in section 2(1) of the Bill, if enacted, could result in Irish competition law being inconsistent with EU law, and could place the courts in the unusual position of exempting undertakings under Irish law while punishing them under EU law.
