Nuno Ruiz and Miguel Mendes Pereira talk to Jornal de Negócios

Nuno Ruiz and Miguel Mendes Pereira, partner and Of Counsel at VdA's Competition & EU area of practice talked to Jornal de Negócios newspaper about the new Competition Law and the added powers attributed to the Competition Authority (CA). In this respect, Nuno Ruiz underlined the fact that the new law gives room for "'private enforcement'" due to the fact that the CA may or may not investigate a complaint, by invoking the discretionary principle, writes the newspaper in its July 11 edition, quoting the lawyer. Miguel Mendes Pereira, VdA's Of Counsel sums up: "as long as the CA's added powers and activity stays transparent and allowing scrutiny there will be no problems arising".
