Commissioner Mario Monti’s achievements in relation to Article 81 of the EC Treaty include three are major reforms: (1) the modernization of EC competition law; (2) the introduction of a more economics-based analysis for Article 81 cases; (3) and the fight against cartels. An equally significant achievement is Commissioner Monti’s high personal standing, not least because of his independence from lobbying. Despite the pace of his reforms, there are still plenty of challenges for his successor.
